    Logically, someone should back up all of their content and rehost it somewhere. I suspect however a lawyer somewhere would give them grief over it.

    Yeah, all drivers should be stored somewhere, even if companys stop trading its always nice to be able to get old drivers for stuff without having to go to some dodgy popupridden site full of adverts only to find the drivers not there anyways..

    Re: ABIT Website To Go Completely Shut By End of February

    I posted this about a month ago. It was my very 1st post here at Hexus. Now, my thread and post is gone and there's a message at the top of the page asking me to make my 1st post? What gives?
    I posted the link to their page telling that their site would be closing down and told the story of the 2 ABIT motherboards I once had that killed 2 of my (then) very expensive AMD cpu's.
    Let's see if this post gets deleted for whatever reason.

    IIRC that post was pretty unnecessarily trollish. Not a great way to introduce yourself to a forum, a much better way is often to say... 'Hello guys, im new here' or to jump straight to giving people advice...

    Just my personal 2 pence.

    I think I still have most of the drivers on CD somewhere. I'm sure I have the airpace, uguru drivers and software.

    Most of the motherboard drivers are still availiable from nVidia, Intel etc..

    I am supprised that the website has been left up this long tbh.

    I do have all Bios files for Abit IN9 SLI. Anyone who needs it send me an e-mail... I believe that drivers for the motherboards aren´t an problem at all. All chips have a manufacter Intel, nVIDIA, Realtek, so go to their website and get the drivers..

    They should have made a torrent, containing sub folders for each motherboard. At least then a few people could host the data and then others could pick and choose which items they wanted.

    BIOS especially, drivers aren't really needed from the motherboard manufacturers any more. Besides a few weird drivers that Dell seem to be the only hosts for!

    Oh yes, NF7-S was truly epic - to the point I had three of them!

    Re: ABIT Website To Go Completely Shut By End of February

    I had a BE6 (i think that was the model) Slot 1 Intel board in a system till I gave it away to a charity last year, still worked, and I still have a Kx333 board in an unused system but it has weird issues with windows xp.
    If I use an Nvidia card in it then the video drivers keep crashing the machine but the soundcard will work, if I put an ATI card in it the Video works fine but soundcard will not.
    It will run Windows 98 with nvidia and sound and will run fine.

    Goodbye Abit

    Re: ABIT Website To Go Completely Shut By End of February

    I've been desperately trying to grab everything on their last remaining FTP server for the past couple days.

    Problem is: I don't seem to be the only one. The FTP welcome message said multiple times that there are currently 41 (or anything close to that) out of 50 allowed connections..

    The only time I've been able to download at halfway useful speeds (creeping along at 20KB/s, which is what they seem to have limited it to) was in the middle of the night (GMT+1). Early in the morning the transfers got slower and slower and by now (4:30 pm), the server refuses any connection attempts.. just like the last couple days
    Status: Resolving address of file.abit.com.tw
    Status: Connecting to 122.146.170.185:21...
    Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
    Error: Could not connect to server
    Their website is still up though..

    I've got a few folders done and about half (?) of the BIOS folder. I fear that I won't get any further before they finally pull the plug.

    I've been mailing USI (the parent company) to ask if they could leave at least the FTP running a little while longer to complete this or make a backup on their side of things to keep a user-based archive of sorts alive, but didn't get any response yet.
    I've got the capabilities to host the entire content of their FTP, but if I can't grab it, I can't put it up..

    Sucks that I've heard of the website being shut down waaay too late.
    Sad day

    PS: Interesting detail..: they had a VMWare installer complete with multiple keys lurking on there since '09

    Re: ABIT Website To Go Completely Shut By End of February

    You know, I had the AB9 Pro mobo up until recently and I just realised how well made it is (survived 5 years and now going into a spare PC). In some ways it is still superior to my new mobo (Asus P8Z68-V Gen3) as it had 9 SATA sockets and individual voltage controls for each fan connected to the motherboard. *sigh*
