VXPro+ Information for upgrading 1

[TheInsider]

Hello,
Here is everything that I know about my motherboard:

07/04/97-VXPro+-USB-Ultr-2A5LDH09C-00
Award BIOS v4.51PG Release 07/07/1997S
BIOS Extension v1.0A
Cyrix 6x86L-PR200+
4 EDO slots, 2 SDRAM slots, and I believe 4 PCI and 3 ISA slots (though I don't have the board infront of me at the moment)

I am told that the "H0" above means that this board is made by TSIN-TECH (PCChips?) and that it is an Apollo VPX chipset v5.2A?

As you could have guessed, I don't have a manual. I was given an Evergreen Spectra 400 (K6-2) upgrade chip. Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the mainboard manual online or have any information on doing this upgrade? I don't have a manual for the Evergreen upgrade chip either. Any info on what I have would be appreciated - yes I already know it's a lame system =).
Thanks, Rob Marriott

Thanks, I have done extensive searching on the web and have found many manuals available. The problem is that I don't know which one is mine. The motherboard doesn't appear to have any markings on it to indicate the manufacturer. I have been told that the "H0" means TSIN-TECH but I don't know the exact model. They list the motherboards under codes like "M520". I haven't been able to obtain the code for mine. Turns out that I have an IBM processor, not a Cyrix (not that this makes a difference). I will try what you suggested.
Thanks again, Rob Marriott

rob,

I just tried inputing bios no's you supplied in to webferret and it returned 317 results. I had a hunt and have come up with this link.

http://www.crosswinds.net/~ajzchips/586_M5xx/M573_19980430/573_Manual_PDF.zip

from what I have seen this should be the manual for your mobo.

good luck
