BIOS Updates forum

What makes you think that Uniflash is incompatable ? Do other flashers give you the ability of doing a Force ? I was wondering if the chip ID is damaged or hasnt been loaded properly. Note that it appears to be a common problem as I have two boards that are the same with the same issues.......what d...

After a lot of research, I dont think that the information on the Abit site is correct. They advise that the Chip is wrong and suggest a 28f1000PPC, which is the wrong packadge. My board takes a PLCC chip which is a 28F1000PQC. I have obtained a 28F1000PQC so decided to atempt using uniflash to burn...

The new BIN file is 256K (BH6_SS.BIN). I am assuming that the Bios size is 256K, the same size as the BIN file. The Winbond chip recommended by Abit is a 128Kx8. In your opinion, is this no good ? Comparing the chip that is in the MB at the moment, it is 2 megabit while the ones in the Abit message ...

The plot thickens. I have just logged on to the Abit web site to get a fresh copy of the Bios for use with Uniflash, and there is now a message on the site posted under BH6 which reads: I Get an "Unknown Flash Type" message on my screen: You have used the incorrect EEPROM. Please use MX type no.28F1...

Armed with the chips pin configuration and my Fluke multimeter, I have determined that pin 1 does infact have +12v on it. This is probably worse than if it wasnt +12v. If the machine does write back to the chip, ( ESCD etc), then is it actually doing this even though it is issuing the Unknown Flash ...

Thanks for your help guys/gals. I have searched the web for the pin layout on the Bios EPROM and havnt been able to find anything. I checked the pins at each corner during boot up and found that the voltage fluctuates depending on whats happening. At no time did the voltage on these pins exceed 4.5v...

I have tried to determine the VPP (what does VPP stand for ?) but dont know where to look. Cant see anything in the BIOS setup that would allow such a change.........Is the voltage something that is manually set ?

The Award Sticker had "PCI/PNP 686 153168851" on it. The chip underneath had " MX C984810 28F2000T0C-12C4 1A2737 Taiwan". Any help ?

I have checked the Bios chip and it has an Award logo on it so I am presuming that it is the original. I also cannot find any mention of a flash protect jumper in the mother board manual (Abit BH6). Scrutiny of the actual board also has not revealed a jumper that I cant explain. Does anyone have a l...

I have recently purchased some old machines and have combined them to make one. The mother Board that I chose was the Abit BH6. It is running a PII 400. I noticed that at boot up a message comes up after the PCI list that says “Unknown Flash Type”. The machine works okay. However when I ...
