Check here maybe ? https://www.udo-richter.de/DFI/index.en.html

In the future you'll have that kind of thing here too http://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboard/result/?name=P5BV3

Great job guys ! I did find the rev C manual but am late to the party as usual.
Here is the last CPU support update I could find (from 2000).
Have not found any BIOS files that are usable yet...

awesome!!! thanks, there is a bios for C that says
"Support AMD K6-2 500/­550 CPU." that would match the cpu compatibility chart image that was shared

too bad they don't support k6-2+

kind of weird because i was given this board with a k6-2+ 450mhz installed, i just never powered it on

does anyone know what is the difference with the /e version and the "non /e" version of the motherboard. DFi released like 3 revisions for each.
and its possible that bios will not work between the /E and Non /E

to make the things worse i think there are modded bios for the "non /E" that support k6 plus processors.

SETBLASTER asked me on PM as I have been using this board several years ago (Super 7 P5Bv3+/e (MVP) - problem with Nvidia graphics (AGP and PCI)),
so I can attach some files

file.php?id=20051&mode=view

- 61 page long manual in color
- various BIOS versions (zipped in one file, you need to figure which ones are good...)
- VIA 4in1429v(a) driver
