Found a spec here: https://web.archive.org/web/20001204165500/ht … protech.com.tw/ but to get the manual you had to contact them. Found some references to a 'prox1560.pdf' file, but can't find that.

Doesn't help that searching for that file name that is mostly brings up results for prox cards and readers (proximity).

Wow, how'd you get to those? I got stuck where for a few years it looks like they had a Flash front end to their website.

more often than not, I just open the entire URL catalog for a site using the * wildcards (maybe partially filtered by date on the first one) and use the search box to find possible hits, so here it was

https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.protech.com.tw:80/*

then search for 1560

Things I didn't know. Thank you.
[edit: hey, BIOS files as well, neat]

Tiny bit more poking around and I found the pages past what would have been the Flash intro:
https://web.archive.org/web/20030923074351/ht … p?id=12&mcate=1
Which at least shows you what drivers used to exist, even if they can't actually be downloaded from there (C&T 69030, Realtek RTL8139, and some NetMOS driver).

There's also a list of LCD panels it worked with: https://web.archive.org/web/20030816183733/ht … l/prox1560.html
Although it looks like they needed different VGA BIOS files which I can't find.

It doesn't look like this board is listed on UltimateRetro so it might be nice if you can add it there so there's a record of it.

I bought such a SBC recently as NOS, rev. G1D.
Thanks for digging up the manuals!

Apparently this is a Super Socket 7 chipset and supports K6-2/III with 500+ MHz and 100MHz FSB.

Does your board enable the onboard 512K L2 PB WB cache?
According to CTCM and SpeedSys mine doesn't.

BIOS Code is 02/20/2002-ALADDIN5-2A5KKP6DC-00
Version apparently „(F62B5E-TN) P5/6x86 SBC SYSTEM ...…“

Reality continues to ruin my life.
