    Searching your chip set #'s just brings up people trying to ID boards.
    There is some consensus that the board manufacturer would be defunct anyway.
    The suggestion is to open the case & search the board for a label.

    Maybe the above site (biosagent) will find something for you.
    I am not sure if they charge or not.

    Perhaps we can search from the exact string as seen here:

    http://www.unicore.com/forms/leads/b...gradeform3.cfm

    4. You will see a string that looks similar to:
    51-0607-0111111-071595-82430VX(For AMI BIOS)
    04/25/2000-i430TX-67x-2A59IB0BC-00(For Award BIOS)
