BTW the Ford Lian stuff I looked at was a bit off, like there's more than one version of the BX-6VP2, you seem to have the D revision up. Stuff to snarf here... https://www.elhvb.com/mboards/fordlian/Garner.htm

(And if you work your way up and down the directory trees at that site and try random searches from google against it, you'll find half a dozen archive backups of dead site and other ppls stuff, which seem hard to get to from the front page, and kinda disorganised as a whole.)

Hope the update goes well ! Have had some issues doing basic searches over the last few weeks <no motherboards found> and I know you are constantly trying to improve it but the basic search features seem to have some issues lately or maybe is just me.

Some fields still can't give good results (such as form factor and ram), not because their code is broken, but because many form factors need to be identified. If you use those, don't expect any proper result.

Sorry 🙁

(They won't be fixed in the upcoming update, we're trying to get the database schema exactly like we would like before reviewing all the boards and finally having matching data)

Specifically on the form factor field. There are a lot of OEM/Prop. boards that are not yet identified as such. We went through 5000+ boards looking for errors. AT and ATX should be fairly accurate. IIRC at the time we didn't have an OEM/Prop. category. An oversight.

There is also the 1000s of errors in TH99 itself. We have found so so many, but many many remain.

The slot count is pretty good to find boards. And we have made headway into identifying chipsets. But some manual just don't state the chipset which is infuriating if you don't have an image. DEC I'm looking at you.

Tips for searching. Do a search and fill in as many of the fields you want. If it doesn't show something then try to widen your search by removing fields one by one. You may have to search though 30 boards, but that is better than searching through 500 in th99. Results with images are coming soon.

If you find errors please let us know.

Thanks ! yes I was using the form factor along with a specific chipset, thought I had also searched w/o form but guess I didn't, my fault ;p

I don't have too much trouble with it, guess because I've seen a few boards and I can do a "guess what's most unique about this one" to tune the search. Though I wish some things weren't so specific, like you could do a search for any kind of AGP slot etc. Also some processor options should have a broader option IMO.

Hahaa I have also seen tons and have many boards and have added more since then but sometimes when in hurry do not not think clearly about the unique-nes part 😀
