I don't remember the softpaq number offhand, but the ECU for these machines is very obtainable. If all else fails I can send you an image of my disks. Calm yourself

if you can find one - please tell where and how - as far as i found - it should be version 1.21 (Compaq EISA Configuration Utility v1.21)

Try one of these
Re: Compaq Deskpro 486/33M and Configuration Floppy Disk

Welcome to the club of Deskpro /M owners.
You may try to find the Smartstart 5.5 CD Image.
The EISA Setup should be contained as well as a setup disk generator.

Just a quick search later:

Latest known System Configuration Utility Softpaq in English: http://108.59.254.117/~mR_Slug/pub/EISA/sources/COMPAQ/added to archive/sp19619.exe
other sources for the sp should be availiable.

Be careful if you want to extend the memory to the 64 MB max.
Configuration only worked with the HDD unplugged for me.

the Compaq (HP) site does not contain any ECU any longer (already checked that)
all other links contain only cfg files - not the utility to write

those are config files only

Ok here is the Softpaq with the ECU

This exact same file was on the link I sent you eariler BTW, but here is my "personal" copy from my machine build archive

muchas gracias. now i have the 8mb ram and the harddrive is back. what an interesting configuration style. XP
