How to get THAT .bin file???

kingxgr · Sat Feb 14, 2004 1:00 am

In "Manufacturer Links" under SOYO I discovered a .bin file that updates my BIOS... and to be more precise "5va0710b.bin" but I have no idea how to get into the ftp://ftp.soyo.nl site to download it... The ftp asks for username and pass and doesn't allow anonymous log in

Could someone be of an assistance?
Thanks in advance

I would like to know that too... There were some very new BIOSes there which are now not present on any other Soyo sites...

Soyo.nl ceased to exist quite some time ago. I used to betatest some BIOS files for them. Control has been taken over by Soyo Deutschland.

no internal contacts you could ask for those files?

I wish I had such luck to know insiders, hehehe!

Anyway I think, I will stick to 5va0911h.bin for the BIOS update. Unless you have any other advice or ideas.

Its actual state is still: 01/13/97-i430VX-8669-2A59GS2IC-00 and I HAVE to try BIOS update because I have tried almost everything else and the system is the most unstable thing I have ever seen!

insider question was for ajz.

unstable i430VX systems are not uncommon. you could try a fresh windows install.

Ouch... it's been 4 years or so already that I've not kept in touch with them. I only remember the Dutch SOYO dude was called Ivan Kruhl.
