Can you take a reasonably high resolution photo of the whole board (front and back if possible) and of the area around the connector? I haven't been able to find the manual anywhere but it might be possible to work out what goes where.

I did find a reference to a Japanese manual with the filename m_p3c4xd_jpn.zip from here: https://web.archive.org/web/20030605102159/ht … load/index.html , but I can't find the actual file.

[edit: of course, just after posting I then find it... https://web.archive.org/web/20030403163853/ht … _p3c4xd_jpn.zip
Page 21 looks like what you want. ]

Awesmoe, thank you!!! I have been trying to find that file before but wasn't succesful.
Thank you 😀

@snufkin
Are you able to somehow find the bios image as well? Unfortunately I didn't manage to download it.

Not after a quick look, but are you sure that's the right BIOS? Looks like the P3C4XD and P3C4X have a different Southbridge (82C686A vs. 82C596B) so I don't know if it'd work.

I know you've got the manual now, but would you mind still taking some photos of the board for theretroweb? The one there now isn't very high resolution and there's no photo of the back. Also a copy of the current BIOS if you can.

Sure thing

The P3C4X is a different board with a single slot 1 cpu layout- basically a copy of the ASUS P3V4X.
