really old documentation for motherboard. Where is?

[openmind]

I am looking for really old documentation for SUPER BX(~1998 year) motherboard. I had asked google - seems, it doesn't know where the documentation is placed 😀. So, my kind friends what can you advise me? Where else, should I look?

Have you checked the manufacturer's website? That's the first place I always go.

I had done this at first place. But, you see, it's been 15 years...

What's the full model name/number of your motherboard?

 

[Binky]

SUPER is the brand name? You'll need to figure out more than that from various markings on the board.

"Super BX" was most likely some company's rebranded marketing name for a chipset, one of the VIA or SIS chipsets IIRC, which was printed on the chipset heatsink or PCB. Pretty sure it was a PC Chips board, but could have been ZIDA, Amptron, or one of the other Hsing Tech rebrands. See:

Chipset Aliases: TX Pro, VX Pro & Co. ("Super BX" not actually mentioned)

If you could post an image/photo of the board, it might help identify it.

A little research hints that Super BX is a Jetway board.

give us the model name/number and chipset names and numbers to search properly.

More than likely its an Intel 440BX and you should be able to dig up some information about it but the motherboard manufacturer may have gone bankrupt by now and not have a website.

I found a "BX Two" mobo, but no "Super BX"

No Super BX, but did find an interesting aliases list for chipsets at: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/59
