ID a Compaq 7470 "Camaro" mobo?

[FieroGt42]

I'm trying to get a 100% positive ID on the mobo in my Compaq 7470/AMD K6-2. It seems very similar to the one in this thread, but not identical.

Mine is the Camaro board with "PWA-PWA-CAMARO" AND "PCB-TWA-CAMARO-R01" clearly printed on it, but it has different VIA chipsets: VT8501 and VT82C686A if I recall correctly. Do I also have the Mitac 5114vu? I've tried the BIOs flashing utility and it warned me that it didn't match my mobo ID or something. Can somebody please verify this before I fry my board?

I can't even get a BIOS ID string. This is what I get from BIOS Agent:

Program: eSupport.com BIOS Agent Version 3.45
BIOS Date: 07/25/00
BIOS Type: Unknown
BIOS ID: Unknown
OEM Sign-On: None
Chipset: VIA 82C501 rev 3
Superio: VIA 686 rev 20 found at port 7h
OS: Win98
CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor 533 MHz
BIOS ROM In Socket: Unknown
BIOS ROM Size: Unknown
Memory Installed: 311 MB
Memory Maximum: Unknown


Can somebody help me please?

Can you try the DOS version of BIOS Agent?

[FieroGt42]

The DOS version gives the same info (or lack of info) and a bin of the current BIOS if it will help anyone ID the board.

send it to edwin@wimsbios.com titled with the name of this thread and I'll have a look at it.

I assume you ran the DOS version from a pure DOS boot disk...

Check if your part number is listed, if so you can use the MiTAC bios at your own risk from this page:
