OK, pics confirm it as the 4000427 Gateway 'Spearfish' board (probably Release 1 - 98/99). The Intel 'AA' number doesn't help much as it's not listed in the Spec Update doc - I suppose it's possble that this OEM board version was in circulation before Intel released the retail MS440GX. However I'd …

I did think that, but I've seen a few posts where this was tried on these OEM boards using the later Intel bios versions (18 thru 20) and there were issues. On the topic of the DRM, I thought I'd found a source of detailed images of the same on Wayback (ftp://download.intel.com/businesscomputing/ …

Got any better pics of the board & part numbers - it looks more like an OEM version rather than Intel retail as its missing the onboard NIC & audio and the power & panel connectors are different, possibly a Gateway 'Spearfish' (4M4SG0X0 - 4000060, 4000427, 400483) so may have a custom / limited bios …

Another 'nearly' board is the Gigabyte GA-6VTXD (native Tualatin + AGP, but no ISA). It's the dual version of the GA-6VTXE which did have one shared ISA. The dual board lost that, but still has the pads on the PCB, so maybe one for the skilled solderer. Filename GA-6VTXD.jpg File size 306.9 KiB …
