According to this link http://www.elhvb.com/mboards/vtech/aristo.html , you have an Aristo AM-993 motherboard. Still trying to find a manual.....

It appears there is a relationship between Aristo, VTech an PcPartner, so this may be a PcPartner board made for Aristo. Here is an image of their 815EPAS3-993C, CA or CL boards to compare with your motherboard:

Check the board surface for a series of numbers like 35-C993-XX-XX and if this is your motherboard, manuals and BIOS updates, etc. can be found at :

hi Zonxar,

very tks for your information.

it very close for my board, but i found a number "35-C978-Y1-11" on back surface of the board.

so, what mean and which model in PcPartner for it ?

is it same as 815EAS3-C978/815EAS3-978C/815EAS3-978CL,

under 35-C978-XX-05or later and use the bios p978ii.zip ?

hope can give me more suggetion.

tks and applause your help
:D :)

Should be on the front surface in corner at back of board opposite of corner with keyboard connector.

If it is the same number, yes, that is the bios you should use.
