Hi guys - new guy here - i'm Steve from West Yorkshire, England
Try as I might, I can't find a manual for this machine i've just bought, and it's a bit of an odd ball setup - anyone know where I can get one?
Cheers!
Steve
Yeah there is the 486s/33m (above) and the 486/33m: https://hp.manualscollection.com/?D=Compaq%20 … 2F33M&By=HP___2
one of the manuals should work. Also you will need the Compaq EISA config tools for your exact machine iirc... they could be here: http://66.113.161.23/~mR_Slug/EISA/
will search them out in a bit...
ok according to the archives: http://web.archive.org/web/20020813001243/htt … cate/24_42.html
you need Sp6144.exe for the EISA config disk, SP16085.exe for the Diagnostics disk.
Those can be found here: 6144: http://cwcyrix.duckdns.org/ftp-archives/ftp.c … aq/sp6001-6500/
16085: http://cwcyrix.duckdns.org/ftp-archives/ftp.c … /sp16001-16500/
Also Some basic info on some of the board part numbers and switches, archived web pages for 486/33m attached.
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
Thank you guys! wow... that is some EISA collection!! Yes, I've managed to set the machine up with 6.22 and w3.11 with some great stuff. The computer is immaculate and completely original. Those manual links i've already looked at, they seem to be for modern systems.

Remember, only part that is not obtainable is power supply board so if this dies, either repair the power supply or use 24 pin ATX power supply repinned to compaq pinout or use repinned 6 inch 24pin atx extension cable, just leave off power on (ground it to turn on), and 3.3V wires. This is a exception for deskpro/m as opposed to replace whole power supply in a metal box.
