Oh dear, this is a "Full Yes International" (FYI) motherboard ID . FYI are defunct, so there is no official support 
.
Better hope someone has a later BIOS lying around....I can't find one on the web. Another possibility is that another board may have the same chips and the BIOS may match. Can you run CTBios (ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/ctbios13.zip)
to get more info, as the FAQ for this website asks ?

I have a beta BIOS for your board:
06/05/97-i440FX-2A69HF39C-00
Considering its release date, it'll offer the same HDD support your current release has, so we wouldn't even be able to patch it for you.
The latest release on their site, before they disappeared mentioned:
************ FYI- INTEL 82440 FX Pentium Pro *****************
*FXpro22.BIN I/O SMC665IR
INTEL 82440FX Pentium PRO VER:2.2
ADD ECP Mode assing
...but the fxpro22.bin file is unrecoverable.
BTW, which version do you have?

ATX: http://web.archive.org/web/199707070642 ... s/fyi3.jpg

BTW, I read in another section (where you weren't supposed to crosspost), that you actually flashed your board and are having I/O problems. What BIOS update did you flash it with?
I see you haven't backed up your original BIOS, so you might NEED the beta I suggested to get it to work properly.

Thanks for letting me know about not to crosspost.
My motherboard is AT, and it was version 2.1 before it was flashed.
A friend of mine flashed a copy of his Microstar MS6103 Award Bios, and now it's bootable but with error.

I've just sent you the beta. Do try it out and tell us if it works properly.
Just remember something, the BIOS is a beta; if your PC doesn't boot after flashing it, please try some recovery techniques covered in our FAQ. I wouldn't want to be held responsible for any failure.
