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?
ID a Compaq 7470 "Camaro" mobo?

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:
