Negative on the ASUS. This is a generic (Chinese?) 486 motherboard, with
4 30pin and 2 72 pin simm slots. I have the docs at home, but of course
they contain no contact information. The machine is rock solid though, I
have no other problems.
How did you determine your disk needed replacement? I am trying to
determine is this is a hard or soft problem.
