Flytech A68 board..
Posted: Fri Jul 25, 2008 1:36 pm
I got given another truckload of PCs to wreck out a few weeks ago, & in
amongst them was a Flytech book sized pc, or so it's called, that had a
200mhz IBM cpu in it, & no memory...
I saw it had a VIA vp382c598 chipset & got to thinking that it should run
100 fsb...
So after searching for the manual for the board in it, { A68 V1.1} I found
it does indeed run 100fsb, & it says in the manual that PC100 sd ram has
to be used, & run at 8ns...
Well, no SD ram used so far allows the installation to complete without
a BSD at the 5 to 8 minute mark, regardless of the type of ram, or the
speed setting in the bios...
So far the only way I can get Win98 to load without errors is to run a
K6-366 & 2 sticks of 168 pin EDO @ 70ns...
Does anyone here have an updated bios for this A68 V1.1 flytech board...
& does anyone want the bios from this thing, I pulled it off the chip with
a willem programmer...
Searching the string on the www results in nothing found...
String = 2A5LEF1B
Thanks...
PS, I've actually a few more boards whose strings also result in zero when
searching the www for the string if anyone's interested...
