Interesting. I would check hardware related problems, or operating system issues before I would blame a BIOS update. Easy way to figure out if its a hardware problem VS a software problem would be to try and boot from your OS CD. Place it in the drive and change the Boot order in the BIOS to boot fr...

I think you can add FIC to the list of possible manufacturers. One of the boards I looked at random looked like the same one Compaq uses from FIC.

Also, there does not seem to be any support, other then drivers for the motherboards on the Jama site.

I have only been able to find a BIOS Update:

Depending on what station I am at I can use DOS FTP, but not all of them have it. I think Compaq has specifically setup the proxy to deny FTP requests through IE. But they did a crappy job of it or something.

Ah well its compaq, what are you going to do...

Also found the update your aware of here:

I believe it supports your model, but I cannot be 100% sure.

Well definately check the Master Slave relations, also if the cable is twisted (Red line to Pin1). Its also possible the CDROM could be bad.

I got the link through Google and I could not verify if it works or not. FTP directory retrival throughs IE into and endless accessing loop. Kind of bizarre. The one you posted above does the same thing.

Acer v70MA

The link above keeps bouncing back (firewall denying access) but it should work externally...

Is the manual in digital format? If not could you make a text file of the jumper settings and email it to me:

Your board is pretty uncommon. One of those boards you hear about, but hardley ever see.

I posted this before:

There seemes to be an Acer TS-486
