where can I download a manual and overall information about the Tomato ZX98-AT slot 1 motherboard. and also if there arent manual in the internet tell me what processors compatible with this motherboard? can I run a Pentium III processor? running at AT? tell me everything that I need to know about this motherboard, I mean everything, starting from the specifications, features, processors compatibility, power supply, etc. I need to know all the things to get started. Thnx
I need help about the Tomato ZX98-AT motherboard

The board is discontinued, I had used it long back.
See the <A HREF="http://www.zida.com/product/zx98-cu.htm" target="_new">board homepage</A>.
Hope it is the same one.

yeah that's it only mine is a slot 1 motherboard, it's the same but different slot. what do you mean discontinued? is the board phase out? how old is the board anyway, and also the story is this I used the board on a Pentium II processor at 233 Mhz speed, I tried overclocking it on the bios setup up to 333 i guess and after some minutes the cpu heated up and automatically shut off when i turned it back on the monitor goes black and no cpu response i believe that I accidentaly overheated my processor, so Im thinking if this mobo (Tomato ZX98-AT) can run a PIII optimized and efficiently. And im wondering what could possibly happened is it because of the overheat caused by the overclocking, and also will the mobo get damage if the processor overheats?
Check for your motherboard on <A HREF="http://www.zida.com" target="_new">http://www.zida.com</A>
I guess it is the <A HREF="http://www.zida.com/product/bx98.htm" target="_new">BX98</A> Since the ZX was a subset of BX and most xx98 series boards from Zida actually had a compatible VIA chipset. They used to call it a VIA BX!
The board is long outdated, phased out as are the slot1 450 MHz P-IIIs. These dont perform as good and have the older ATA/33 controller but used to run almost every memory module I had, which couldnt work with the original Intel BX chipset!
Overclocking to 333 straight from 233 is too much, the processor wont work at this high speed. you might overclock it to around 266, or even 300 but 333 looks a long way. you probabely ran the clock at 83 or 100 MHz.
The processor overheating would just prevent it from booting, and a exposure to such conditions for a longer time would damage the processor permenantly. The board usually doesnt damage from a processor overheating, but if this overheating causes a short on the die or fuses some power wires its likely that the processor would draw larger current from a single line which would damage it, even the traces on the board!
