I believe this is a FYI board but I don't know what model it is. When it posts it displays VIA-598 MVP3 VER:1.2-I would this be the boards revision?
I also would like to find a bios update so i can support larger hard disks, is this the latest bios.
07/21/1998-vp3-586b-w877-2a5lef3fc-00
The FYI website doesn't seem to be maintained so any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

I have this version here:

I patched it for you for large HDD support here:

I was wondering how safe it is to use that bios to flash my pc as i have version MVP3 VER:1.2-I and yours is MVP3 VER:1.3-I.... will the bios update work on both versions without killing them?
Oh yes and if you do have a manyal would you care to share it, my email is dirg3r@hotmail.com

ajzchips you are a life saver
The bios you gave me has solved a couple of problems I have with my board such as Win2k not being able to install and support for larger drives. I am very grateful.
cheers dude,

I believe you're right... best would be a link to this thread, I suppose... done.
As a matter of fact, I suggest this be done with all the .txt files at http://wims.rainbow-software.org.

I have come up with a board that is not a Full Yes board, via doing a google search:
http://www.wimsbios.com/index.htm?/HTML1/zeling.html
http://www.wimsbios.com/index.htm?/HTML1/zeling.html
xx/xx/xxxx-VP3-586B-W877-2A5LEF3FC-00 ZL-M5V5
So is this one of the strings that matches several different boards, or a situation like PC Chips (i.e. a long list of "rebaggers")???

Nice research...
The Zeling BIOS I found is:
BIOS Message: ZL-M5V5 (VIA MVP3) , M5V5-002.BIN
BIOS ID: 02/04/1999-VP3-586B-W877-2A5LEF3FC-00
BTW, lots of Zeling stuff over here, including this board's manual:
http://web.archive.org/web/*sr_1nr_167/ ... 6.174.122/*
The m5v5.zip (manual) link is temporarily down, so we'll have to try again tomorrow.
