Plasma-Online suggests so but the Bios/PCB version indicator "MZ" is not shown at FIC - KBI6130 has MK or MR

Might be a very special version for Compaq/HP or similar companies

It's seems to be a special version for Compaq with support only from Compaq - FIC Bios does not work !

Please have a look at your mainboard and tell us model number and revision number !
Have you lookde at Compaq ? > Mybe they have a newer Bios

There is a slight chance this one might do the trick...

Scrap that. It's the same version. At least we have a download location now.

can mi415 bios not wrk with it??

No that is not going to work. Compaq has done something horrible to their version which trips our standard patch for >32GB support so we'll have to try another method.

Please have a bit more patience.

The description of this bios says:

Version MZ4225 128GB BETA apple_rom patch

but its an intel pentium III-450mhz, not an apple pc!!! so is it ok to flash with this version.

if its ok plz also tell me the version of flash that i shud use to flash it.

apple_rom is the nickname of the person writing the patch. Any 6.x version of awdflash should work, you can even use the one from the compaq Rompaq disk.
