P5I430TX/250E (TX 400) BIOS V1.3 09/16/97 + 60GB hdd

are you trying to update or are you trying to short +12V somewhere on your board?
if you are going for the first...just download uniflash and put it together with the bios on a bootable disc.

I was under the impression that I have to apply +12v to pin 1 on the BIOS chip in order to flash it. I'll try that.
