looking for Tekran bios file

[Valerio]

I'm looking for a bios file for a 'Tekran P6Pro-AU' motherboard.

I am not looking for an 'update' but the original 128 Kb file
which came with the board when was purchased.



PD.:
The 'update' on Tekran website is 256Kb but the chip on the board I have has just 128Kb. Maybe it is an error or maybe the hardware was revised and bios chip upgraded from 128Kb to 256Kb... don't know.

It is with doubt that Tekram's P6PRO-Au is your best choice for next-generation performance.

Hehe, sorry. What's written on your BIOS chip, under the sticker?

Ha ha ha.... Well, they are honest enough to warn people about its own products...


The chip is a WinBond W29C011A-15
(http://www.winbond.com/e-winbondhtm/par ... ?Pname=760).

It seem to be quite similar to W29C020 which has 2Mb.

Hm. You could always order the new 2Mb BIOS in a pre-flashed chip.

I've used this guy. He's fast and inexpensive, and can get you a Winbond.

Thanks for the link but I have yet a fresh W29C020 (2Mb) chip and
have the 2Mb bios file too. I burnt it and.... unfortunately, it didn't work.

I was told this mobo could be a limited serie based on 1Mb chip and I guess it will never understand this 2Mb update file as offered to donwload at Tekram site.

That's why I was looking for the old, original 1Mb file as it came with this mobo when was purchased.

Try flashing a 128KB BIOS for a board with the same chipset.

The 1.01 version of the BIOS is 256KB too. Are you 100% sure of the ID of the board ? What are the BIOS ID message and OEM string ?
