Hi, I got a retro computer from 2001. I refurbished it and am going to install a 9x OS, but I am having trouble identifying my hardware. This socket-A motherboard has an AMD Athlon 800, but no model number printed on the PCB.
I found a sticker on the ISA slot with the code PM-K911A-ASO and when I searched for it on google I only found a link https://www.elhvb.com/supportbios.info/Archiv … /EQS/index.html that looks like a listing for EQS motherboards. There is no further information.
The board has the VT8363/VT82C686A chipsets and an Award BIOS with the infamous Phoenixnet adware.
I would like to have the manual for the board and the drivers and maybe you can help me. I have taken some pictures. Thank you very much.

Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.
