Abit CD's are hard to find... will keep an eye out...

does anyone have the cd of this motherboard?

ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe

Just stumbled on this Asus M346 driver CD posted one month ago. Inside are bios for P4C800, P4P800, and P4P8x. Probably the closest thing you will find...

Maybe this slightly older version (VT-1.20M) would do - https://archive.org/details/abit_vt120m

great one PC Hoarder Patrol, i am downloading that last one
Nice to see the thread still alive. Some people just buy the boards and the CDs is like "the install experience" on such retro hardware

close, i have the original VT-1.27M
but its for VP6 from abit, a dual socket 370, need to fix the sockets for that one some day, if i find replacement sockets.

and the contents of the cd only have manuals for that version too (VP6), kind of sad abit did not a combo motherboard with 1 cd.

SETBLASTER, are you uploading to archive.org only CD-images which you're personally interested in? I'm asking this, 'cause I've couple of original mobo CDs which are still readable, but I have no account on the archive.org. I can make ISO-files and upload them to some free file sharing platforms (most are limited for 1 month free sharing or 1 time download) if interested.

Huh, I never spotted this thread before. Here's my driver CD - VT1.30M from the Abit VH6T in English language:
https://archive.org/details/abit-vt-1p-30-m

Man, uploading to archive.org is pretty painful.

im not uploading to archive nor know how to upload there.
when i created this thread some years ago ,I was like screaming for help

Piles of motherboards came to my hands,some of them i really love and are unique, not easy to find. From brands that are long gone now and drivers too.
Also the CD is kind of an experience when setting up your retro pc. Its like living a piece of the past with those drivers boot menu.

Im still missing some CD isos like:

Asus ga-5ax
Aopen ax59pro
Epox mvp3g5 or G2 should be the same.
Epox 8RDA3+
ABIT KT7A (not raid)
gigabyte ga-6vtx
gigabyte BX2000+
astock 4coredual-sata2

sometimes i just loose track on what motherboards i have.

ill search for delta2 platinum
but I don´t think i have a7n8x

hated asus with their models because they released so many with the same model

A7N8X "standard" has the dual-channel northbridge and the basic southbridge. It takes up to 400MHz FSB processors, doesn't have the Serial ATA controller or the fancy nVidia audio processors that the Deluxes have. Comes with a bracket for a gameport and additional USB 2.0 ports. No "speech reporter" feature. One network jack.

A7N8X-X is like the A7N8X "standard" but it doesn't have the dual-channel memory controller or the additional bracket for the gameport and USB 2.0 ports.

A7N8X Deluxe is like the A7N8X "standard" but it uses the fancy MCP-T southbridge, and as a result it has the nVidia audio processors and is now Soundstorm-certified. Also has an add-on SATA controller and SATA cables, and two 10/100MBit network jacks. Has the funky "POST Reporter" to tell you that "system now booting from operating system!" and stuff.

A7N8X-E Deluxe adds a 3Com gigabit-Ethernet controller in place of the second 10/100 network controller, and has a WinDVD suite, SATA power adapter cable, and it sounds like they threw some kind of WiFi-ready thing on there so you can buy an exorbiantly-priced Asus WiFi card if you can find it 😉

A7N8X-VM is the microATX one with onboard video. Other than that, it's like the A7N8X "standard" except it's only rated for up to 333MHz FSB.

A7N8X-VM400 is a new version of A7N8X-VM that takes the 400MHz FSB processors.

I have the A7N8X-E Deluxe, so the CD is this one, :
https://archive.org/details/a-7-n-8-x-e-delux … ev.-68.02-m-384

i don´t know what CD they used for the other models

http://www.mediafire.com/download/mluds5fi78u … s_Rev_44.04.iso
http://www.mediafire.com/download/l3vbz0ziri8 … s_Rev_44.07.iso

as cds for A7N8X Deluxe and A7N8X-X

maybe 44.04 iso is M303
and maybe 44.07 iso is M312

Always hated asus for doing this mess with that model
