There are numerous directories based on the range of softpaq numbers if you go back one directory. You just have to weed thru them. That's where the assembly date comes in handy. Anything up to 2-3 years after the manufacture date is desirable. Just scan the .txt listing for F10 or restore. That's all you need. For instance, I quickly found a softpaq (sp4100, I think) for deskpros that was dated in 1997. It integrated F10 and dianostics into one file. Try sp1456. it's a diagnotsics from 1996. Directly from the 1001-1500 directory: SP1454.EXE ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp1001-1500/sp1454.exe 844K 18 December 95 TITLE: Fix Partition Utility to Restore Primary Partition; Oops, it appears prosignia was a model: SP1436.EXE This one looks promising: SP1368.EXE ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp1001-1500/sp1368.exe 2157K 14 September 95 TITLE: Compaq System Configuration Utility Version 2.28 Rev.

I'm tired and so I'll sign off for tonight. -----Original Message----- From: Potts, Ross To: 'Cribbins, Jason ' Cc: 'questions@freebsd.org ' Sent: 10/25/00 9:19 PM Subject: RE: Unable to boot 4.1.1 Does it have a riser card? Look in a corner of the board for an Diagram # and assembly date. Also does it have a silk screen of the Predator on it? Is there any way you can get a picture scanned? I might be able to ID it for you. Just send that to me, though, not the list. I'm going to look on Compaq's website for archives of their restore utilities for you. I promise you once you get the BIOS partition going, you'll have a lot less problems. -----Original Message----- HAS BEEN CUT FOR THE LISTS CONVENIENCE To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
