Here is a list of motherboards im looking for an .iso image:

ASUS CUSL2 ( not "-c")

Are you sure the CUSL2 driver cd is differant than the CUSL2-C ?
I have the -C cd (Asus #M 168, all driver cd's have an M number) and it says "Intel 815E Chipset Series" on the label and in the file txt, so covers more than one board.
My Asus M 166 driver cd says "VIA/AMD 761 Series" and covers the CUV4X/A7V/A7M, etc boards. Not every board after 1999 got it's own driver cd.
Best thing would be to get a picture of the actual CD face and try to collect all the M numbers...
Added: my P2B-S cd also covers the P2B-DS board..

I think you might be correct on your idea. Back in the day motherboard manufacturers , or some of them, released one CD covering different motherboards that were released during that specific time of the year. I have seen that happen with Soyo motherboards and also with epox motherboards too. So it might be very common that your CD works also on the non -C variant.

edit: i just found images on CUSL2 and it also uses M168 cd, can you upload an img iso of the cd so we all have it ?

Sure but have a bunch of chores to do, will try to image it and upload to Archive.org tonight or tomorrow.

thanks , I really appreciate that CD for CUSL2

on the other hand...

for TUSL2-C i think i found the cd online.
looking at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TUmkHzGzTQ&t=8s
wich is very low quality i think the letters say M186 and when i searched on google asus M186 a miracle happened
iso was found

Be careful when posting links to such driver CDs. They often contain full commercial software, like PowerDVD on the M186 disc just posted...

There shouldn't be any problem with that, as long as he doesn't share the CD keys. Also these "full" versions are often locked with authentication DLLs which only work when the software is executed in entitled boards, which ofc gives the owner of these boards a license and the rights to execute these "full" software titles.

Asus CUSL2, CUSL2-C driver CD M168: https://archive.org/details/asusm168cusl2815mb

Added: I do not think showing a link to Archive.org will create any issues and the software that is protected usually comes with it's own cert and serial number as hyoenmadan mentioned and seen in this picture of an Asus P3V4X complete package (i blocked the serial on the Yamaha software):

Thank you very mucho Horun
really appreciate it. now i have motherboard, box, and full CD.

I wonder if the cd will also work on TUSL2-C, because i saw that even if the M-168 number is on the CD, there are newer M-numbers for that same model "intel 815E"

The CD that came with my TUSL2-C = M200

Hi parke, do you have the M200 cd? can you share an iso of the disc?
im sure many forum members have been looking for that CD

answered via pm

Asus, at least, still maintains a support site where you can get manuals, BIOS images, and drivers. It's the defunct ones, and the OEM boards (like my MSI MS-6318 that I got somewhere) that are tricky. 😀

I'm all in favor of archiving the original disc images though. Just for grins.

I threw most of mine away, having opted for the latest from the manufacture's website most of the time. But I have found a couple gathering sawdust in the garage, or tucked away in a box somewhere.

Hey guys, thanks to PARKE now we got asus cd M200, wich is for TUSL2-C. If anyone wants it let me know i will share you the link to download

Now im looking for a difficult one that im missing the CD: EPOX 8RDA3+

Hey guys, just wanted to come here to let you know that thanks to vogons members i was able to complete cd images ISO of all these boards:
ASUS CUSL2 ( not "-c")
ASUS TUSL2-C
MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum
ASUS A7N8X-E

im still looking for CD iso images of these tho, if anyone has any of these boards with the original CD maybe you can help us and share a link with the iso:
Asus ga-5ax
Aopen ax59pro
Epox mvp3g5 or G2 should be the same.
Epox 8RDA3+
ABIT KT7A (not raid)

I just posted in the drivers archive thread yesterday that I have an FIC Motherboard driver CD. They used to do a new one every year or so with all of the drivers for the last couple of years. I think mine is from an FIC VA-503, but it has drivers for a large number of boards and chipsets from 1997-1999.

I will try to do an ISO of it in the next day or two, and either upload it to archive.org or share it with someone here via Google Drive or something.

Cheers,

Harley.
