Can not find BIOS update of my DataExcel mobo

Recommended by Wim's BIOS...

Hello all. I have this DataExcel PIII 440ZX mobo with this BIOS ID: 03/15/1999-i440ZX-W977EF-2A69KPWBC-00. As most of you know, DataExcel was an ambiguous mobo compnay which merged with chaintech. However, that BIOS ID is the exact same as the Protac MX320/322 motherboard.

I have found a BIOS update on kuriaki's site, but I'm not sure if it applies to my "DataExcel" mobo. I have found other posts on this site and others about the ambiguous DataExcel mobos, but i havn't found one post so far that has a good, solid solution to this problem.

So.. anyone with any advice? Thanks.

Sorry. I should've posted this topic in another section of this forum, as it has nothing to do with Hard Drives.



Apologies for the irrelevence.

Yes, you can flash with it.

Thanks, Kuriaki. I'll try it when I have time. btw, is this patched BIOS reliable? Or can it be buggy? Because I'm building this comp for a friend and he wants a comp that works well..

Just wonderin
