I just bought a ECS K75sa. My Epson 1200U Scanner which uses USB port
doesn't work. Usually when I press the "scan" button Win 98 will
recognize and try to install the drivers but nothing happens at all.
In fact, sometimes the computer freezes up and I have to reboot.

I bought last saturday a
videocolor 9700 radeon all in wonder
to work with my k7s5a / Athlon 1Ghz / 256 Mo Sdram 133 computer.
Power supply : enermax 300 Watt.

   Will a serial mouse work from the 2 serial ports on the rear of the
K7S5A?  How do I accommodate this in bios?  Thx in advance, sdlomi

after messing with my previous mobo k7s5a and wrecking it
ive installed this nw mb with new cpu
however dont understand usb installation
is this mean to work with win98se?

I have a new ECS L7S7A2 with a AthlonXP 2500+ "barton" (333mhz fsb).
At bootup, my machine displays AthlonXP 1900+.  I understand that this
is due to my FSB speed being set to 133mhz in the bios.  Can someone
tell me how to change this to 166mhz???  The bios fields for CPU and

So what exactly is the IRQ sharing on the K7S5A Pro? I found this info about
the non-Pro K7S5A:
- PCI 1 shares with AGP

ECS K7S5A
AMD Athlon 1700+
Asus GeForce MX 16MB AGP
Creative SB Live

I guess that this K7S5A board has some of the SiS difficulties getting along
with all USB cards???
What about this one:

I read somewhere that the Barton 2500 actually ran at 2400.  Would
this chip work with a k7s5a Pro?

After a fresh spate of lost cmos in my 6 month old K7S5A, I'm thinking of
changing motherboard.  Does the pro version suffer from the same ailment?
It's a very cheap replacement and would suit my pocket. Thanks .

My case is An Antec Perforamce series.  The front panel USB connections are
marked Power, GRND, Data +, Data -.
These are individual leads but the internal motherboard connections are not
marked on the board, the web site or in the book.

I'm doing a major upgrade (and essentially my first homebuild). I have the
following spec laid out:
- New Tsunami Sagittarius ATX window case & 350W PSU
- New K7S5A Pro mainboard

I've noticed in a couple of posts that you are using the 80mm fan mod
from http://superfan.freewebspace.com/
I would like to do this mod myself, but how the heck do you get the
screws in that attach the fan to the heatsink?

I ordered a L7S7A2 and it should be here in a few days. The thing is,
I just noticed that the I/O port configuration on the back is
COMPLETELY different from the K7S5A board that it will be replacing.
In fact, I've never seen a configuration like the L7S7A2's and I don't

I recently had my own K7S5A board and/or Athlon 1700+ chip go out on me and
because of lack of funds am considering replacing it with the same
board(version unknown) and a Duron 1.3Ghz for $55. Now I'd be buying the
board and chip from someone in a local newsgroup and is still in ...
