I was attempting to flash the current bios to a Chaintech 7NJL6 board (NF2 chipset socket A) prior to using it. Chaintech's website had the bios in the form of a .bin file with no information on the correct flasher to use, and none on their site to download.
I tried flashing with Award 8.22a and was able to save the current bios (by swapping floppies) but when it gets to flashing the new bios it gives me an error msg. "This is not an Award bios."
Uniflash website shows unknown compatibility for the NF2 chipset, which is why I didn't try it. I've emailed Chaintech, but their website does not inspire confidence.
so many parts, so little time.....

7NJL6 bios from where exactly? I'll have a look at the file itself as well to make sure it is complete and an actual bios file.
