I have a pc with this same motherboard and bios! I don't know how to use these old computers though, so I am trying to learn how to even figure out how to set it up. Sorry to necro this thread but I just found it and find myself curious if you ever found the bios you were looking for.

I just think it's neat and was hoping for stories or info not on wiki When you started the thread, you wrote that you haven't had any luck finding *any* information on it, so that would lead others the wrong way wouldn't it? ;) But yes, it does look neat and the switches probably make it much nicer …

Yeah I think it's got the white switches. And it has a calculator built in and it has dip switches for XT or AT. I just think it's neat and was hoping for stories or info not on wiki

What is there to know that isn't already on the web, when you search for the company name + model number? I would like to know if anyone has used one or one like it. Have you ever seen one? I thought it was a cool old keyboard and I hadn't ever seen one like it. Also, I did not find much info on it …

I recently acquired an old AT keyboard. I have not had any luck finding any information on it. Also, I have very little knowledge from XT or early AT computers. I would really appreciate it if anyone has any information that they could or would share with me. 20201013_093306.jpg 20201013_093327.jpg …

I'd reconsider the USB2 card. I had one in my P2 400 retro rig, and noticed that it ate up about 10-20 percent performance. If transferring files often, might want to get a network card instead, and set up a shared folder. If not, then wait for the occasional transfer to complete with onboard USB1 …

That's going to be a nice PC, plus you can still do a lot of upgrades should you find it too slow. 👍 Also personally I'd go with the GF2 MX400 if you have the V2 to go along with it. Thanks I appreciate it! :) I also have an fx5500 256mb that I could throw into it too. my dvdrw unfortunately doesnt …
