I flashed the wrong BIOS thanks to ECS and Outpost.com. The box and the order stated it was a version 8c board but it's a version 6. Oh well...
So if I understand the FAQ, I add the Award Flash utiilty to the AUTOEXEC.bat file on the boot floppy along with the correct BIOS.
What do I need to do at that point?
For the record...The BIOS chip is soldered onto the board so replacement isn't an option.
TIA!
SUCCESS!!! Thank you Wimsbios!
I do have that but now I'm stuck trying to figure out where and how to add that AUTOEXEC.bat thing. I was originally using a bootdisc created on an XP sys, then found an old W98 SE floppy. but couldn't find the AUTOEXEC.BAT file anywhere on either. Where will I find that or should I dl another proggie?
Any guidance?
Thanks for the reply!

Just write your own with any simple text editor, and name the file AUTOEXEC.BAT. That's all there is to it.

I got it!!!!
Thank you so much to this excellent Forum!
I am absolutely amazed.
I used Uniflash and the first couple tries didn't work but I followed the instructions and used some common sense. What a sweet sight to see that thing flashing. and then successfully rebooting.
