Chaintech 6EPA2: 03/19/1999-i440EX-8671-2A69JC39C-00
Chaintech 6ESA0: 06/21/99-i440EX-8671-2A69JC39C-00
Chaintech 6ESA2: 08/27/1999-i440EX-8671-2A69JC39C-00

Check for model number printed on the board. You can get the BIOSes at http://www.chaintech.com.tw/Downloads/MBBIOS.htm

Chaintech 6ESV, the latest BIOS is "01/27/1999-i440EX-8661-2A69JC39C-00" at ftp://ftp.chaintech.com.tw/bios/6esv/6esv0127.exe

I wonder what this 13MB file is for:

ftp://ftp.chaintech.com.tw/other/6bsv6esv/

...seems to fit 2 motherboard models.

13MB? Interesting. I will not download it I have ISDN only

Hi Rainbow & ajzchips

If you still want it mailed, no problem, just ask.

It would appear that one of the flash bios has sort of ruined my BIOS and I am looking at some of the postings to clear this case

[Denniss]

It's a complete set of drivers :
Chipset Sound and VGA

DSL is nice and DSL-Flat is even better

See the FAQ on main page here. If the board beeps and/or tries to read from floppy, you can recover easily. If not, you will need to hot-flash http://rainbow.ht.st/hardware/hotflash.html
