Paul:
Your motherboard is probably a FIC VA503, VA503+, VA503A or PA2013. It uses
a VIA Apollo MVP3 chipset. The VA503 series are all Socket 7 boards , but
I'm not familiar with the PA2013 board. Based on the BIOS date, your board
is probably a VA503A -- that's good, because it is the last in the series
and has more capabilities than the earlier ones. You can get further
information at www.wimbios.com (good place to find the motherboard from the
BIOS string) and http://www.fica.com  (the FIC site).
