Thanks! I hadn't seen that one before. (must not have been using the correct search terms) I was trying several others from 2007 and 2009 but they kept getting stuck at 90-something percent completion. This one appears to be the most recent FTP dump, so hopefully it finishes. I'll seed once complete. 😀

There is also this FTP:

OK, found the 14 GB Archive.org torrent:

https://archive.org/details/archiveteam-ftp_abit_com_tw

IIRC, this one is smaller than the one on PirateBay because that one contains pictures and expanded archives.

Hi,
is there a filelist for the content of the archive.org torrent? Specifically I am looking for anything related to PK5, an old Socket5 MB.
Thanks.

I downloaded it in 2015, I can't recall from where, but there's pretty much nothing for the PK5. There's a folder /bios/bios/old/pk5 which is empty, and a file called /fae/fae/pk528.exe which is 78.9kb, but that's it 🙁

I popped the file into a hex editor but all I can make out is something about renaming the file to pk528.exe.xt, and copyright Yoshi, 1991.

The file Ojo mentions is all there is...it's the v28 BIOS for the PK5 & PS5 (SiS-501-503-2A5IAA11-28), which you can get here https://theretroweb.com/bios/?page=1&itemsPer … 8&chipsetId=418

Thanks for the replies, I am aware of the BIOS image at TheRetroWeb, so I was wondering whether there is possibly another treasure in the mirror 😀
