I have built a new PC and need some assistance in figuring out the
IEEE 1394, (firewire), case to mainboard connections! The case has the
wires labeled differently from how KT-600 Manual lists it's
connections.

My KV7MA-Pro defaults to "Normal" for the printer port and that works fine on
my HP Laserjet III and Epson Inkjets. When I choose ECP or EPP I get jibberish
from the printers. These port emulations work fine on other motherboards with
the same printers. What's the difference?

I have two older Dragon Plus boards, one running 2ba8 and the other, a
recent freebie, is still running 2ba2.
I want to upgrade the one so that both are running the same bios, but
apparently the 2ba8 bios has been removed from the Soyo site.

Here is my current configuration:
KT600 Dragon Ultra Platinum
Creative SoundBlaster Audigy Platinum
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro {128mb}

I have a Soyo KT400 Ultra, and am trying to use a Radeon 9600SE AGP
card, which I can't get to work at all.  In fact, when I leave it in
the computer for a while, it doesn't even heat up, which says that
slot isn't even getting voltage.  But, when I plug the card in, I do

I've had a SY-K7V DRAGON Plus! motherboard for some time now. When I
