I am trying to get as much information about this board: SOYO K7VTA PRO 1.0
so far i have checked the soyousa and soyo taiwan using wayback https://archive.org/web/
i can see the soyo site as if i was browsing year 2004, but when i go to the downloads section and select the motherboard model...it fails always.

I can´t retreive their downloads site, nor know what were the last bios, nor know what drivers they listed for that specific motherboard for each operating system. I was able to find a copy of the pdf manual on another site tho.

There is no way to retreive information like that? i wonder why wayback was unable to make a backup of the downloads section properly. What do you do with all soyo motherboards? all drivers were lost?

Beaten to it - ah well!

As said, ctually, quite a number of these files do still exist on the Archive site as SOYO had an http mirror of their ftp download site hanging of their main site, which has been largely crawled.

You may need to do a bit of detective work on the Archive to confirm actual filenames to search for on the mirror, but they are there. There are various captures of the mirror, but this one seems to have some files on offer

https://web.archive.org/web/20040603054002/ht … ousa.com:80/dl/

This next one will give you all the download page links for the board between 2002-2006 (don't think much changed after 2004) from where you can get actual filenames & dates to check for on the mirror as the links on the pages themselves seem a bit hit or miss. There are some even older files on the mirror (eg v1 of the manual) not linked thru these download pages.
