Looking for a manual for obscure Mobo...

Looking for a manual or other docs for a Zappa or Zaapa ZP-5V2 Baby AT Motherboard. I have had a few dropped into my lap along with their Cyrix 6x86 M2 processors. I was thinking of fixing them up and giving them away to neighbors who otherwise couldnt afford a computer.

I also have some PowerMac Performa 5500/250 's from the same batch. Not knowing anything about Mac's, are they any good, what can I do with them?

Any info is welcome.

Thanks in advance. :)

3. Jumpers ...

This is for an AMD process, so I'm not sure if you can use it, but it might provide some help.

4. I have a FIC VA 503+ which is a MVP3 chipset board.

I run it with a K6-2 at 300Mhz. Got it from my brother and
made it work with some junk parts I had laying around. Seems sort
of like what you have.

Elsewhere I saw it stated that Zaapa was really a FastFame clone,
and FastFame appears (speculating) to have been absorbed into FIC.
(http://www.wimsbios.com/HTML1/zaapa.html)

Edit: Nope, FastFame is not FIC, and their site seems to be dead.

The reason I bring all this up is that if you can identify the
MoBo nomenclature in FIC-speak, you might be able to find the
user manual here:

http://www.fic.com.tw/download/motherboards.aspx

The manuals have nice pics of the MoBo layouts, so you might be
able to figure it out.

5. So, I seem to have a DNS problem with fastfame, or the site is dead.

The site is www.fastfame.com.tw.
I DO see recent MoBo products discussed, etc.

Your plan to mail Zaapa may be your best shot unless you can
get to the FastFame site.
