What does PB NEC Europe say about the PB 680 Here is a page from a PB 683 manual given with a system sold in Europe. Click here to see the large jpg image of this page. The naming convention for these components is pbnec. CEL part numbers with an E suffix designate a common-emitter package configuration, as opposed to common-base (B suffix) versions of the same transistor available from CEL under the same part number. I created this page to help other PB/NEC owners in their plight. This is not a Packard Bell/NEC hate page. However, if you run a PB/NEC hate page, feel free to link to my page. I have no problems with that. Owners of PB computers may finally find the solution to their problems on this page. PB NEC Corporation, 1 Packard Bell Way, Sacramento, CA 95828 U.S.A.

Other OEM BIOSes for the GA-8i915PM mobo do not appear to be compatible with the PB NEC mobo, although would presumably be patchable – for a competent coder (which is not me!).
