Identifying a Socket7 mobo!

[RobUK]

I have one of those i430VX motherboards the ones that were made by loads of companies. I've found it on the PCchip and Ampton sites but it is slightly differnt and the BIOS upgrades don't match.

I believe it is made by HOUSTON TECH as it has a RTC made by that company and the other mobo's don't. Unfortunately i can't find their motherboard bios page. I have tried contacting them but no reply. The follow is found on this mobo:

It is the same as the PCchips M535 or M530 Motherbord and the Amptron PM8900 but the bios don't match.

It uses an Intel Chipset, Award Bios, Capable of supporting a 75Mhz - 200MHz Cpu, 4 Simm slots, 2 dimm slots and a cache stick is used.

The mobo serial is:
10/18/96-i430VX-10031996C-00

The Chipset is:
Intel Corporation 82437VX 430VX

And the BIOS i'm trying to update is:
Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG

The release date is 10/20/1996S

Can anyone help

Went to Wim's BIOS page. http://www.ping.be/bios/


Here's the info on your BIOS: Note the Date change!!!

03/03/97-i430VX-10031996C-00 is actually your IOS identifier.

03/03/97-i430VX-10031996C-00: Eurone model EM-5100V,EM-5200V, EM-5300V, EM-5400V, EM-5500V, EM-5600V, EM-5700V... all the same
BIOS.....
or Chicony motherboard or PCChips M530 or Concord COA-530 or Alton Model: MBPTRVX256MB,P5,Triton VX,256K PCB,EID or Houston
Technologies Part No.MB-M535PC-256K or Elpina or Pine PT-7502 (rev. 5.0)

Hope this helps some.

CORRECTION:

That should read BIOS not IOS
