Too bad it is not revision 2.00. It supports K6-2 CPUs. It wasn't easy to find out what revision it is (1.20 - I hope). It is not written anywhere on the board and every revision has different voltage settings!

It may not be in the manual, but the VRM controller seems capable of providing K6-2 voltages: https://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/CS5151-D.PDF .
The truth table is on page 3.

Nice ! And it appears to have 4 sets of jumpers near that CS5151.
I found the archive link that says the "RB" is a v1.10, 1.20 or 2.00. Your board has the "RB" on bottom left of the picture, not "RA" so def not a V1.00.

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

2.00 has Award BIOS (earlier versions have AMI) so I have 1.1 or 1.2. This two versions have (according to manual) different settings for voltages and mine was set (got it with P200MMX installed) just like 1.2 should be.

A diagnostic card. I'll try it later to see if it works. Seems to have more options and info than most Chinese cards. There was a thread for this here on Vogons, but sadly now manual. It seems a pretty straight forward thing though, even if the extra BIOS chips were not included.

Far from the chinese counterparts 😀
Very interested in this card, can't wait to read if works and what it does - so much stuff on it......

Had some trouble booting the 790i, but finally managed to post and boot. Guess that I will have to test this MB thoroughly.

I also have a vague feeling it's from the USA. I tried it on a known dead board and it surely gave zero output as it couldn't even start the POST procedures (power failure on the board).

Yes, that was me 😉

Also have the manual, but too many pages to scan...

When you want a house-warming P4, want to run 64-bit, but only have socket 478...

Took a gamble on the eBay listing - the seller's photo was atrocious and the price too cheap considering its rarity. I was fully prepared for it to be a misread sSpec number. I'll stick it in my ASRock P4i945GC at some point.

I thought IBM was born with the world

Hi there

I just got myself a Tiny Pc with the MSI MS-5158 board. Have you any of the drivers for the video card, sound card and system board you could share with me? Either for Windows 95 or 98?

Many thanks

Dave

Postman came here today too. Unfortunately nowhere near as spectacular as Batyra's (drooling for that I-RAM), but nice enough for me to be happy:

PQI 128MB 44p IDE disk-on-module (which will hopefully work in my 486SLC low-profile build)
MSI MS-5158 TX5 ATX motherboard with i430TX chipset and lots of nice ISA slots.
and of course the Yamaha MU50-XG. Not an MU80, but close enough. So now I have XG as well as GS. Maybe now I'll stop buying this stuff (and pigs can fly 😜 )

That's a good combo. SL7Q8 @ 3.4 also has EM64T support, but I've never seen that one for sale..

Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

Nice find! That's the perfect cpu to have now that where coming into winter. Over the summer I was a few hours late to get one of those locally for 25 bucks.

Hi Dave,

I just have the MS-5158 motherboard an have no idea which other components it is paired with in your TinyPC system. The motherboard itself doesn't need any drivers in Win98SE, it's supported natively. Not sure about Win95 - you might need Intel IDE drivers there for optimal performance, although it will certainly function out of the box.

When I saw this board, I could not resist.

Do you mind if I ask what mobo it is? I cannot seem to find a 430TX board with the layout of yours.

Of course I don't. It's DTK PAM-0073i.
