Need drivers for my Soltek SL-B9C-FGR

[PrinceofWands]

So out of nowhere soltek is gone...their site is non-functional. This leaves me without access to drivers as I'm redoing a friends system. I can piece together the rest of it but so far I'm having no luck on netowrk drivers. I don't suppose anyone has access to a driver disk for this system?

Prince,

I don't know how recent the drivers need to be, but here's a site with SL-B9C-FGR drivers dated in 2005: http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/results/amd/200/

Will they work for you? Maybe better than none, eh?

I'm probably just going blind but all I find there is bios files.

Prince,

Sorry about that, you're right, but I wasn't sure exactly what you needed for the board. It obviously isn't BIOS files.

Is this site any better? http://members.driverguide.com...il.php?driverid=352316 It says there are drivers in the zip file...

Unfortuantely driverguide has only the bios files and vga. It was good to get the video working right at least.

I managed to get sound too by using a system information utility to find out what exactly it was then going to that manufacturer. Unfortunately the network information was not picked up by the utility so I'm still stuck on that.

Prince,

Maybe it's a matter of cost, but I believe I'd suggest a new motherboard... Could you find one that all the other components would work with? Lots of older generation mobos are pretty cheap.

Dear Prince,

looks like that board uses a Via chipset? How about the Via download site:

OK, I was searching for info on your mobo, and came across the old Soltek website, which is now powned by someone else:

I feel the need to run virus and spyware scans. ugly.

OK, the German (?) Soltek site still appears to be partially alive: maybe email customer service?

OR

Says opteron, works fine with any socket 939 CPU:

OR: Consider a linux distribution for your socket 939 box, if that works for you: it will take care of all the drivers for you automagically; that depends on what other software you are running though--gaming a problem, obviously...but, I have found that with my older machines, for web surfing/email/documents, Linux is more than fine....
