Bios Update for Gobi i440LX-W83977-2A69JG5LC-00

j_hurricane_y

Let me get right to the point. I bought a Epson Stylus CX5200 for my POS Gobi (went out of business) computer and I can't print. Through trouble-shooting, I've been told that there's likely some issue with the USB ports and that a BIOS upgrade might help. Fortunately, I found this site and I'm hoping someone can help me locate a BIOS update. The manufacturer of my board is GVC, but their website is not helpful. I have done a search of the forums and came up with this thread:

Will the update for this guy also work for me?

Here's my applicable info:
BIOS Type: Award Modular Bios v4.51PG
BIOS ID: 01/25/1999-i440LX-W83977-2A69JG5LC-00
BIOS Eval: PENTIUM II AGP/PCI/ISA SYSTEM BIOS VERSION: GOBI 1.02
Chipset: Intel 440EX/LX rev 3

Thanks in advance for any help!

You could take a look at http://www.bcmcom.com/support.htm and see if it matches the pictures there. One suggestion from the web was KR630, but that has the wrong I/O chip.

The board that rolandit had was apparently the IN440EX-D, the 8Mbyte SDRAM graphics version:
01/12/1999-i440EX-W83977-2A69JG5EC-00
PENTIUM II AGP/PCI/ISA SYSTEM BIOS VER:1.02 (#20852)

The IN440EX has 2Mb or 4 Mb SGRAM:
11/17/1998-i440EX-W83977-2A69JG5AC-00
PENTIUM II AGP/PCI/ISA SYSTEM BIOS VER:1.03 (#20654)
