I just acquired for a reasonable price (for me) this beautiful baby.

https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/supermicro-370de6

It is perfect except that it won’t run tualatins.
I have Lin-Lin adapters but looking at the motherboard it is totally identical to the P3TDE6…

Attached the last bios on Supermicro site.

Same chipset also… Man they are the same…
The bios file is the same also so there is no way I can crossflash.
How is it possible? Can I circumvent this?

How are you trying to flash?

This looks like a regular PLCC EEPROM so you can just pop it out and put it into an EEPROM flasher. Don't have one? Get one! If anything goes wrong with this sort of cross-flashing, you need a way to recover. Nothing beats a backed-up file and an external flasher.

A generic flash program like Uniflash might also work (depends on exact chips on the board), but risk is that if there is anything blocking boot after your flash, you're stuck and bricked.

I can confirm that a Tualatin celeron 1400 with soldered Korean adapter is fully recognised.
Guess I need to use adapters.

The AGP port is 3.3V only? I mean, I see AGO pro 2x and I read about people using a 7800gs on it, but not ATI HD or X cards.

Is there a list of recent AGP cards electrically capable of operate at 3.3V?
Even if not keyed correctly (think about Nvidia 6800 nv40).
