Here is the info you requested

BIOS Date: 10/07/99
BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
BIOS ID: 10/07/1999-SiS-530-2A5IMB09C
OEM Sign-On: Ver 00.01.16
Chipset: SiS 530 rev 3
Superio: NSC 351 rev 2 found at port 2Eh

I know that it is made by Biostar but can find no reference to it on their site. Google shows me a bunch of copies of the lists you have posted for identifying the motherboard, I've got the flash utility. NOw can someone point me to the actually file that needs to be burned into the Eprom.

Thanks

Thanks for that download link.

Before I try it though, I'd like to know how you made the connection between the data I submitted and the actually biostar board model M5SAA. Is there a crossreference list somewhere?

Thanks again

Rainbow just has so much knowledge....
...on the other hand, a Google search for 2A5IMB09C turns up two requests for ID at Motherboards.org which were both answered as M5SAA. It may also help to know that with a Socket 7 board and SIS chipset it's going to start M5S.
