I actually do have that motherboard (Rev. 2.1). [I also mirrored their entire FTP server 3 years ago.] I never installed such drivers for Win98SE from when I tested the board years ago, though. They did move their very old stuff here: ftp://ftp.fic.com.tw/motherboard/driver/misc/utilities/ VIA IDE …

The onboard ESS ES1878 Audiodrive from the Compaq Armada 1573DM works well with SoftMPU and is supports port 2/9. The IRQ can either be changed in the BIOS or within Windows. -- I do have a few cards that aren't on the sound card compatibility list (but I will have to retrieve my Socket 7 desktop …

I'd be happy to try a patched version! Would bypassing the RTC check affect functionality much? No, it will still use the RTC. Not really sure why the check is failing on your Compaq (could your copy of SoftMPU be corrupt?) but here's a patched version anyway. Yeah, quite odd. I have a Compaq …

^ I actually have the blue screw-type passive cooler, has MICRON printed on mine. Came with an Intel Pentium 200MHz non-MMX CPU. Probably still in a drawer somewhere. But yeah, the one I have only fits the ceramic Pentium (without gold tops) and the non-ceramic 200MHz / 233MHz CPUs if you use the …

Apparently the output voltage is 14.6V - 15V. Can't believe I actually found the specs for this thing, although the images aren't archived. Found the old website through an old InfoWorld review regarding the Orasis (which, ironically, was found through a slideshow of unsuccessful tablet PCs :lol: ) …

Not much, just grabbed this off an old PC Chips BIOS EEPROM that I had lying around. Full image, rotated 90° clockwise below.

Found the Beta BIOS in question! Quite tricky to find, it involved reading old forum posts, and found a link in the process. Has a build date of February 8, 2001 (v3.7 had a build date of September 8, 2000) and apparently adds 120GB HDD support. I'll also upload it as an attachment just in case. …

It seems that archive.org has their Legacy Drivers page fully archived: http://web.archive.org/web/20160808115954/http://www.s3graphics.com/en/drivers/legacy_software_archive.aspx I'll have to archive these sometime for myself. Had no clue the site was knowingly unstable until now! I should have …

Yeah, can't find the modified Z72C BIOS either. I'm usually good at finding obscure files. Did apparently find a modded version of the v1.2 BIOS for the board, however. Not sure which HPT370 BIOS it has, though. Probably still 0.95. Also, it does seem possible to flash v2.0 BIOS on the HPT370 board …
