Drivers for HP Compaq 118053-001 Slot 1 ATX Motherboard

[TKS81]

Hello. I hope I have posted this the right place - I was a bit unsure.

I am in the process of building a Win98 SE machine (OS not listed in dropdown of the forum), just for fun. I have came across a motherboard that should work nice.

This is about a HP Compaq Slot 1 ATX motherboard with Intel 440BX chipset. The board is probably produced in '98 - '99 (?).

I am pretty sure I have found the right chipset-drivers, but I was looking for more information about the motherboard, and if needed: The rest of the drivers. Also, a manual would be very nice. 

Is there anyone who can help me with this? The board says 118053-001 but I cant find out much with this.

Kind regards, K.S.

Hi:

The motherboard is from the old Compaq Deskpro model series.

See if these W98 drivers work for you...

Thank you so much.

I am waiting for some parts to arrive. I will check these drivers as soon as the build is complete and report back.

BTW: So this is compaq pre HP? That is pretty cool 🙂

You're very welcome.

Yes, that is a pre-HP model.  It is a 'pure' Compaq machine before HP merged with them.

Chipset-drivers worked like a charm. I don't think i need any of the others ..

The only thing I would like to get is a manual of the motherboards, so I know a little more about the headers and dip-switches. Oh, well - another time. 🙂

There is this manual on the support page.

Not sure the motherboard is exactly the same one as yours, because it is for the model series...see chapter 5 starting on page 5-1 for the connectors and jumpers information.

Sadly thats not the same motherboard. That one seems like a socket 370, and I have a slot 1.
