}I have looked there before buying mine, since at that time I wanted a K6.
}I've ended with a P200MMX, but that's another history. :)
I looked at manual at www.asus.com.tw, and the PCB Rev 3.10 = manual Rev 3.1.
And I did not see any high Revision mentioned there. Since many people have
bought higher Rev. motherboard, I guess their web site is out of date.
I have no idea why my one is not working with K6, but I found this on .tw site:
t25i0205.zip
P/I-P55T2P4, P/I-XP55T2P4 BIOS ver. 0205 10/02/97
1.Fix can't format 1.44MB diskette in LS120 drive when drive A is 1.44MB standard Floppy and drive B is LS120.
2.Fix HDD Display size wrong in system config table if Partition table is invalid.
3.Improve the ATA/ATAPI auto-detect algorithm.
4.Fix GLINT Frame buffer can't be accessed.
5.Add new AMD K6 support. (model 7,8,9)
6....
I am going to try to upgrade the BIOS to see if I can get K6 work.
FYI, the www.asus.com and www.asus.com.tw are different sites. The faq is
on www.asus.com site.
