Hi Guys,

Having gone through my parts store I discovered that I have the above mobo complete with a Celeron 633 processor (God only knows where it came from!), but it could be the basis for a music server on my network. however as it is a foundling I don't have any documentation.

Does anyone have a manual or can anyone provide me with the case connections for the case connections (HDD/Power LEDs Power Switch etc)?

I would be eternally grateful otherwise it will be consigned to the bin!

TA! in advance

If so, I'll do some digging after tea. Have you tried the Compaq / HP website?

once again my humble thanks.... I may have need of your services again because if I can't get this mobo working I have 2 other in my loft that my be serviceable. This is all because I got a Netgear MP101 for Christmas......... Thje damn thing is so resource hungry it makes my PC almost unusable after a while, hence the need for a dedicated media server on m wired network.And as a good "green" computer freak I have to try to reuse spares wherever possible..

looks like the ctechinfo has crashlanded. I'm not sure if I can find another source, ctechinfo is THE unofficial Compaq information source...
