PcPartner (OEM) motherboard, search for a board id code like 35-8829-XX, it is usually printed onto the boad somewhere between the PCI slots.

Support for older boards may still be online a www.pcpartner com

Here's a site with a bunch of Aristo bios updates. Make sure you properly identify your motherboard. http://www.nix.ru/support/drivers.html? ... vendor=288. Good luck.

your mainboard is one of those:

PCPartner (OEM Aristo AM-906) AP133AS3-908/AP133AS3-C908/AP133AS3-908C/AP133AS3-D908

PCB ID:
35-X931-XX-32 or later

manual:

bios:
http://www.pcpartner.com/pcpartner/supp ... 08-2m2.zip

now there are four (FOUR!) different bios versions in the archive. please make sure you pick the correct by reading the included note.
my guess your bios is: V1215IAG.BIN For ITE Super IO chip
ICW-W144 Clock Gen IC
(Dec/2000)
