Hello again, SS7-aimiers-for-stars! Stage one complete. Looks weird, but here we are: ACOSUS 😀
I've pulled a broken Asus P5A-B mobo (does not start) from Ebay. Post code card says F8.

An Acorp 5ALI61 "donor" w/o tag SRAM from the post above also showed F8 code. It was estimated that malfunction was caused by a dead south bridge. But, it was not dead )) it was just partly desoldered from the mobo.
We have IMPLANTED south bridge from ACORP into ASUS. Revision A1->B1. Now, our ASUS is alive.. But, it cannot detect IDEs.

No problem, a patched BIOS from ACORP delivers 😀 UDMA66 in Asus P5A-B. I also tried enabling 10-bit internal TAG SRAM. It works! And another thing: ONE GIG SDRAM was properly detected (but, hangs) 😀
My Win2K needs replacement by a period-correct Win98SE
