Please help. Need the correct "bin" file for a DFI machine wit Award BIOS v4.51PG.
Checked the motherboard maker (DFI) - but haven't been find a flash file.

The following is the output from BIOS Agent:

Checked in WimsBios page and found:

Chipset: 2A6LG = Via Apollo Pro Plus (692/596) Chipset
MotherBoard Manufacturer: D4 = DFI (Diamond Flower) (Crusader?)

What is the correct "bin" file and what flasher version should I use ?.
Where can I get the correct "bin" ?.

Thank you very much.

Regards.

Looks like PB50-V3, but all BIOSes from DFI are:
04/16/1999-693-596A-BD-2A6LGD4FC-00
or
06/23/1999-693-596A-BD-2A6LGD4FC-00
or
09/13/1999-693-596A-CD-2A6LGD4FC-00.
So most probably it's NOT that board.

DFI Board usualy are clearly marked with a model number usually between the PCI-SLots or near the CPU - please have a look

Might be a special OEM-Bios - Retail mainboard or purchased a complety assembled PC-System ?

The only label that I found in the Motherboard is

PB60-VB Rev.B1

I checked again in DFI but there is nothing close

Thanks again

Wouldn't the BIOS for the PB60-VB be at

Yes, that's it. If you need support for HDDs over 32GB, we can patch this BIOS.

Hi georgep, Thanks for the link for the patch.

Hi Rainbow. Yes, that is exactly what I need. I checked the notes on the patch but only fixes a problem for shutdown the machine.
I do not see support for bigger disks.
I got a Western Digital - Caviar - WD600 - 60 Gbytes that is not recognized by the BIOS.

Can you help me with that ?.

Thanks a lot.
