G'day Bernhard,
I too found that VIA are quite negative (and dispondant) via their official channel
- to
the point where I'm investigating SiS alternatives at the moment. However you can
scrumage information from other sources. Try your reseller for starters .. check the
net
too;
http://ic.doma.kiev.ua/
.. has a heap of info (maybe not what you need) .. I was working with the Asus P3V4X
running the Apollo Pro 133A chipset ...
Actually, I have an alternative idea. Technically the motherboard came with 1 license
for the Award BIOS that comes with it. What's wrong with storing a copy of the Award
BIOS in the DoC millennium and calling the needed routines directly ... just a thought
;)
