    Well according to Wimsbios.com 6A6LM VIA VT8363 (KT-133) chipset with Award BIOS v6.00 But the manufacturer code of AW is not listed.

    Will have to go digging. This may take a while

    OK the only thing I and my good friend google could come up with is that it MIGHT be a NetVista

    However it might not be, the only clue to this is a BB called dvdforum.nu
