ok so i got everest loaded and the one driver im missing is a pci input controller witch is the game port for my creative pci512 card, but the rest of the audio stuff works. So could someone point me in the right direction of the latest driver for that card

Know I replied on the other thread, but searching under the SB part number may give better luck.
But yeh there are 100's of variants of these things with the same number, just comes down to trying every single driver out there, Thanks Creative 🙁

i found what the one missing driver was it was the game port on my sound blaster pci512, its getting replaced with a yamaha dx card, love these card not one problem.

I threw in a yamaha dx (great sounding midi by the way) and 120gb hard drive the old 30gb quantum was giving me random lock-ups,but now this thing run awesome, got all drivers working even the chipset Win98se and installed all the games i use to play when i was 10 years old and got lost in it for 8 straight.

So i did a little bit of swapping out, i switched out the geforce for a pci voodoo3 2000 cuz of the agp problems and switched out the yamaha dx for a aureal vortex 2 (first time with a vertex 2) sound amazing for its time.

Ha score i got a 900MHz cpu for free, for this!!!

Thought i would share this its bunch of benchmarks from overclocking my Geforce3 TI200 64MB in my Gateway

i hate to be a jerk here, but why do you good people keep throwing up archived office files? T.T
i mean, i cannot be so much data, as to make it impossible to throw in a little html table here?

Im still learning how to use some of the features on here I don't know how to make a table on here.
Its openoffice so its a free program.

i´m crying more because of the zip -.-

let me try:

It seems that the Gateway download links are no longer functional and wayback doesn't have this BIOS archived, so I am including the latest BIOS here. The latest BIOS is the A00SNP06.ROM, but I have also included the previous version A00SNP05.ROM.

This system is known by a couple names:
Gateway 2000 Kadoka
Gateway KAD Select 750. The '750' can be substituted for 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, or 850.

My particular system has the Thunderbird 750 MHz chip. I'm hoping that 1 GHz Orion or Thunderbird CPUs will run on this board with 750 MB of ECC RAM. The main drawback of the board is the missing ISA slots, but you can fit just about any ATX Irongate in the case. I like to keep OEM boards in OEM cases though.

If anyone has the official Gateway manual for this particular board, would you be kind enough to post it?

As it so happens, I just found a Gateway Select 700 in the trash the other night, sans hard drive and memory but otherwise in mint condition. This is my first Slot A system and I too am curious what the max CPU is that can be put in these. I have had no luck tracking down any kind of manual for this board and I'm starting to think no such thing exists. I did capture the attached from Gateway's site via the Wayback Machine. Not particularly helpful though.

I see that they made Slot A Thunderbirds with a 200MHz bus all the way up to 1400MHz. I guess it's just a matter of what multiplier this board supports? My Google-fu skills tell me Slot A boards typically support up to a 10x multiplier so that would get it to 1GHz. I don't know what boards supported those higher frequency Slot As (1400, 1300, 1200, 1100). If the price for the one auction I saw on eBay for a 1GHz Athlon Slot A (not even a Thunderbird) is any indication of what is typical, it's not going to be worth it anyway (but it could be yours for the low, low price of $399!). A brief search didn't turn up any of the "goldfinger devices" that were commonly used to overclock Slot As back in the day either.

Well, that's more than I found from Gateway.

Never heard of Slot A's above 1 GHz. Have a photo?

I started a new thread concerning processor speed on this board. I'm having trouble with the faster Thunderbird at 1 GHz, but not the Orion. Is it common for slot A 1 GHz Orions to work on a board but not 1 GHz Thunderbirds?

I don't have one myself but they are listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Ath … microprocessors

According to that list, only the socket A went above 1 GHz, not slot A.

You're right, my bad. I was reading that wrong.
