Board: Lucky Star VT8501 - Socket 7
AT Form Factor
VIA MVP4 Chipset (VT8501 & VT82C686A) (also listed as VP4-686A)
Current BIOS ID: 03/29/1999-VP4-686A-2A5LHL1AC-06
V 4.51G

Have not been able to determine what bios upgrade file should be downloaded for this configuration and would like to know a good site from which to download. I have looked at the Lucky Star bios web pages but cannot determine if the upgrade is available there. I have also checked the Russian website but cannot tell for sure that the right bios file is there, either. Thanks for considering my question!

version 1.0 PCB, seems you need a file called 5mvp4b4.bin

http://web.tiscali.it/acorp/?http://web ... -datab.htm

which can be found here:
ftp://ftp.inep.net/pub/drivers/motherbo ... tar/5mvp4/

both the lucky-star taiwan and russia servers seem to be dead at the moment.

Thanks, edwin ! That was one of the three or so files I was considering but wasn't sure. It flashed OK and the system rebooted, so that, so far, is goodness ! :D
