Hi, does anyone know where you can get a PDF copy of the manual for a Elonex PC-425X Manual?

Thanks

If you have the Elonex PC-425X , could you extract bios rom dump and take a picture of the motherboard front and back and then upload?

I have the bios , is from the PCem rom collection. Inside are 3 roms, the full one and then just the board bios and the video bios as seperates.
You want the full one if flashing for actual use on the board.

Yes. Elonex did not make their own motherboards, they were OEM'd by various others AFAIK. The Mr BIOS file is referred to by otana above and do not think PCem just toss files into their BIOS compilation.
Did you burn it ? Did it work ? Some other links suggest Viglen oem'd some of their early boards to Elonex too. If the chipset on yours is ALI then it could be Acer oem... sorry is all I know ;p

A minor update: Found a memory and cpu update odd "doc" and created a readable PDF, it shows some info about the boards Elonex used.
Also found a Y2K doc which lists the boards used by Elonex...
I do not think those listed as "Elonex" in the docs were made by them because another website mentions they wanted to build a manufacture plant late 1990's but never did,
which means all their early boards are OEM from some other manufacture, the later boards are OEM/retail from other well known manufactures.
Will post it to Vogons Driver Library (Under manuals) too
