I recently found a NexGen VL system. While backing up the hard drive, I noticed a nexgen80 directory that had the NexGen VL BIOS flasher, v3 of the VL BIOS, and some shareware helper apps for CPU identification and FPU emulation. I'm not too sure if these particular versions have been archived elsewhere but I've uploaded them to [link removed]

Edit: I've attached them here for possible addition to VOGONSDrivers

I believe you're referring to the PPro tower, the beast is ATX and is absolutely glorious. I had to pop the desk drawer just to fit it under my retro desk.

This is new to me still but the early NexGen processors as far as I know did not come with a FPU. They eventually did with the PF100 (possibly others, but I'm still learning about this).

Vetusware hosts pirated software so we don't allow links to the site. You can post the utilities to VOGONSDrivers if you like. See sticky thread.
