Winco W-P55VT2 rev. D manual and tips please
Posted: Fri Jan 09, 2004 12:29 am
Hi folks.
This is my 1st post here and 1st of all a very hearthy >Thanks< to all of you who are willing to help me.
My board that i got from a friend is from Winco, a firm that seems to have ceased existence.
BIOS says:
04/02/1997 W-P55VT2 REV D (right under the under the Award Copyright notice on TOP)
and
03/24/97-VT82C580VPX-USB-2A5LD00AC-00
at bottom of the screen
Since i already searched through the forum i know that someone else has had the same problem already but since this was already some time ago and links are no longer working on these posts i need help now on this old board again.
And yes, i noticed there were versions with different SuperI/O chips from SMC and UMC
I definitively have an UMC SuperI/O
So please help me with the manual since i haven't found/googled out more info on this board yet.
Also there seems to be false info printed on the board itself since there is a print about BF0 and BF1 jumper for setting up the multiplier but actually there are no such jumpers labeled this way.
So help me setting up this baby with a new CPU exchanging the current Pentium 133 with a Pentium 166 MMX (at least, even better if i find a guy who sells me one for less than 5 Euro) and also give me info if there are more current BIOSes available somewhere and if those support HDDs over 32GB.
Thanks in advance.
