If you look at the "CPU swap" thread, I mentioned trying to swap a PIII 700 for a Celeron 433. The swap didn't work, but I took the board the PIII 700 came out of, added the missing parts and seem to have it working (memory/boot disk, running DOS burnin). Main question I had is if anyone had a way to ID the Compaq Model (beyond Agency) and more importantly get a manual (like in PDF) for it so I can figure out the rest for it (device drivers, how to cable things, etc).

Not sure if this is what u are looking for but:
