I have two old FIC "GIO-VT" Socket 3 mainboards, both of them with a broken Winbond W83757AF Super-IO (no Floppy interface).

This chip seems to be hard to find these days. It´s on many Super-I/O ISA-cards, but it would be a pity to sacrifice two of these cards that are probably more expensive today than the GIO-VT.
I wonder if there´s some (pin compatible) equivalent for this chip (like some later Winbond I/O chip) that´s still available today?

I also cannot find out what the second chip (W83758P) is for. The 757AF seems to provide everything you need like 2 x COM, 1 x LPT, Floppy, IDE and Game Port.

The attachment w757_758.JPG is no longer available

There´s also an additional Promise "PDC20230C" (VLB-?) IDE controller on this mainboard.

If you really want to repair those boards, you can try going for a hunt of multi i/o ide controllers https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155511053315?_trkp … 7Cclp%3A2047675

Or try here for new ones https://www.win-source.net/products/detail/wi … s/w83757af.html

W83758P should be for IDE.
