I've just acquired another AX6B Plus 😀 which needed some fixes (no BIOS, no NB radiator, bent connectors). All fixed - running tests now:

But it is hard to find info about it. Maybe you know what are available revisions:

My both AX6B Plus have the same revision numbers and I've found also rev. 012 with black parallel and serial ports. Unlike for example ASUS P2B or P3B where revisions are pretty known.

My second question is about the latest BIOS - I've found version 2.35 - is it the one?

I have a temptation to keep both as I really like old AOpen motherboards, and AX6B was a base for my first self assembled computer 😀 (and also probably the most expensive motherboard I've ever had).

AOpen AX6B+ | P3 1G | 1GB ECC REG | FX5200 | CT4500
AOpen AX59pro | K6-2 450M | 256MB | Rage 128
Asus CUBX-E | P3 1G | 512MB | GF4 TI4200 | YMF719E-S
Asus P3B-F | P3 933M | 384MB | Radeon 9200 | CT4520
Asus P5A | P55C 200M | 256MB | Riva TNT | CT3600

BIOS 2.35 is the last one

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

As far as board revisions go (based only on the fact that v1.1A was the version tested by NSTL for Y2K compliance) I'd guess 1.0 > 1.1 (A) > 1.2 > 1.3

Thanks 😀 So I got the right one.

Thanks 😀 I think that explains the revision availability.

I was wrong about the motherboard revision - it's actually in the top right corner - and both my boards are 1.3 (not 013) - and I've only seen 1.3 and 1.2.
