I'm looking for the user manual for an old motherboard made by Full Yes
of Taiwan, which company seems to be out of business or absorbed by
another company.

I wonder whether anybody knows what might have become of the company and
their product literature.

The motherboard has BIOS code 12/19/95-i82371-2A59CF3DC-00 and has a
model number like: INTEL 82430IB VER:2.3-I GT. The motherboard came in
a Hewitt-Rand computer. I need to know how to set the jumpers for
different CPU speeds.

I know it's laughably old, but I'm hoping to get some use out of it.
Thanks.

I too have been there and done that, and you know not whereof you speak.

speak.

I think I *do* "know whereof I speak...

I support a bunch of ancient PC-based radio and telephone dispatch
consoles; basically 386's . and low-end 486's. All of the
proprietary cards are ISA . I have to do "garage sales"; scrounge
surplus outlets and more to find motherboards to keep them alive.

The last thing I want to do is deal with "that kind of crap" at home
on my own machines or ones I build for friends /family/charity . I
can buy decent *supportable* used machines for $5 to $50; often
with legal software.
 
I think it comes down to ' how much time do you have on your hands and
what you think is a waste of that time'. If you get a feeling of
satisfaction when getting something to function, especially when the
nay sayers have tried to talk you out of it. Then its time well spent.
Anything that can put a smile on your face or at least give you some
pats on the back these days, I say go for it. If it makes you
frustrated and angry, time to change hobbies............or jobs?

Apples and oranges ...

Using the link kindly provided by steven67, I was able to download the
manual and change jumpers to increase the clock from 75MHz to 150MHz.

The machine is up and serves my purpose legally and adequately.
