ORA VI RACCONTO UNA STORIA CHE E' INIZIATA NEL GENNAIO DEL 1998 ED E' ANCORA IN FASE DI RISOLUZIONE:

un giorno dopo aver installato il software per il mouse logitech e riavviato il pc (KM-T6-AL1 REV 1:1 chip FW82443LX) non ha più voluto saperne di ripartire! Motivo? Si era semplicemente cancellato il bios!!!!!
Credo sia successo per un contatto elettrostatico.

Cercai subito il bios in rete e trovai uno che si chiamava AL1_0910.
E' l'ultima versione rilasciata ufficialmente da jamicon.nl quando era ancora vivo!!
Al momento sembrava che tutto funzionasse bene ma mi sbagliavo; ogni tanto il pc si spegneva senza motivo, durante una scansione come durante la connessione internet, altre volte si bloccava.

Un bel giorno una amico di rete da Cagliari leggendo un mio post mi mandò via e-mail il file AL1_0308 che è una versione un po' più datata (qualche mese), la stessa che ho postato qui http://www.bios-drivers.com/drivers/88/88640.htm perché credevo di aver risoto il problema.
Mentre anche se un po' più attenuato il problema rimane, tipo disconnesione del modem adsl, difficoltà di stampa (ho una lexmark X85)
ed ancora momenti di blocco del pc.

Per farla breve stò cercando tutte le versioni del bios per la scheda madre KM-T6-AL1.

Su internet cercando e ricercando ho trovato il nome (ma non i file bios purtroppo) di tutti i bios per la KM-T6-AL1 che sono i seguenti:

AL1V12 ## 44D7 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX rev 1.2 12/18/97-i440LX-2A69Jk19C-00 No AUTO

AL1_0224 ## F3E0 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX Release 19980224 02/23/98-i440LX-19980216C-00 No AUTO

AL1_0308 ## 5B7A MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX Release 19980308-0 02/23/98-i440LX-19980216C-00 No AUTO

AL1_0320 ## 57B9 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX Release 19980320-0 03/21/98-i440LX-19980216C-00 No AUTO

AL1_0910 ## 9273 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX Release 19980910-0 09/10/1998-i440EX-2A69J001C-00 Yes AUTO

Queste sono tutte le versioni dei bios per la scheda madre KM-T6-AL1, in ordine di uscita, emessi da jamicon.nl quando era attivo.

Io sto cercando i tre bios che ancora mi mancano per vedere se riesco ad installare uno che funzioni perfettamente, cioè questi:

AL1V12 ## 44D7 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX rev 1.2 12/18/97-i440LX-2A69Jk19C-00 No AUTO

AL1_0224 ## F3E0 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX Release 19980224 02/23/98-i440LX-19980216C-00 No AUTO

AL1_0320 ## 57B9 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX Release 19980320-0 03/21/98-i440LX-19980216C-00 No AUTO

Il primo AL1V12 ## 44D7 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX rev 1.2 12/18/97-i440LX-2A69Jk19C-00 No AUTO
è il bios originale ovvero quello che mi si è cancellato.

Nutro comunque dei dubbi se il problema siano i bios.
Penso che il problema potrebbe anche essere il chip 82443LX che necessita di driver aggiornati; sul sito della intel ho letto che su alcuni chip si può presentare il problema di "frezeer" con le porte USB appunto gestite dal chip.
Un ulteriore dubbio però che cancella il precedente e che se installo una scheda PCI USB che ha un suo chip, mi si ripresenta il problema, anche peggio.
Un altro particolare del bios originale che mi si è cancellato e che a differenza delle altre versioni che ho provato (AL1_0910 e AL1_0308),
aveva delle funzioni (tipo controllo dell temperatura della CPU, passwors per supervisor, ecc.) che nelle versioni sucessive sono sparite.
Non vorrei che il chip 82443LX se non seguito correttamente dal bios facesse delle pazzie ovvero andasse in pallone (per i cazzi sui)!!!!!!!

Un ultima differenza che o notato e che penso fosse il motivo dei problemi maggiori con il bios AL1_0910 e che come potete vedere sopra la stringa del bios riporta EX invece di LX.
Credo che la scheda madre in questione sia stata assemblata nel corso della sua produzione con diversi chip prima con quello LX poi con l'EX che saranno si simili ma non uguali!!
Non capisco nemmeno perché l'abbiano chiamata KM-T6-AL1, visto che se non erro AL1 è anch'esso un chip; cioè perché usare quella sigla se poi la scheda madre viene prodotta con chip LX e forse EX.
Non sarà mica che forse qualche esemplare è stato prodotto anche con chip AL1?
CHE CASINO!!! Penso comunque di no perché non ci sono e non ho mai visto bios con stringa AL1.
Il mio pc è così composto: Jamicon KM-T6-AL1 REV 1:1 chip intel FW82443LX, 1 AGP, 3 DIMM, 4 PCI, 3
ISA, 2 USB, pentium II 233, scheda audio awe 64, scheda video S3
384 Mb sdram
Spero che qualcuno in possesso dei tre bios in questione me li posti.

Vi ringrazio.

Ciao.

[Edited by Nick S to make more sense, as babelfish at AltaVista did not do a good job]

I'd like to tell you a story which started in January 1998 and is still in process of resolution:

One day after I installed the software for the Logitech mouse and restarted the PC (KM-T6-AL1 REV 1:1 chip FW82443LX) it did not know how to go again! Why not ? Simply, the BIOS had been wiped out!!! I believe this happened through an electrostatic contact.

I quickly looked for the BIOS on the net and found one called AL1_0910. It is the last officialy released version from jamicon.nl when it was still alive!! At the time it seemed that it all worked well, but I was mistaken; every so often the the PC turned off for no reason, during a self-test or while connecting to the internet, other times it hung.

One fine day a net friend from Cagliari, reading my post, emailed me the file AL1_0308, which is a slightly later version (a few months), the same one I have posted here:
http://www.bios-drivers.com/drivers/88/88640.htm
which I thought would fix the problem. While it has reduced in intensity, the problem remains; for example, disconnection of the ADSL modem, printing problems (I still have one lexmark X85), and occasions when the PC hangs.

To cut it short, I am trying all the versions of BIOS for the Km-t6-al1 motherboard. I have found the names (but not the BIOS files unfortunately) of all the following BIOSes for the KM-T6-AL1:

Code: Select all

AL1V12 ## 44D7 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX rev 1.2 12/18/97-i440LX-2A69Jk19C-00 No AUTO 

AL1_0224 ## F3E0 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX Release 19980224 02/23/98-i440LX-19980216C-00 No AUTO 

AL1_0308 ## 5B7A MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX Release 19980308-0 02/23/98-i440LX-19980216C-00 No AUTO 

AL1_0320 ## 57B9 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX Release 19980320-0 03/21/98-i440LX-19980216C-00 No AUTO 

AL1_0910 ## 9273 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX Release 19980910-0 09/10/1998-i440EX-2A69J001C-00 Yes AUTO
These are all the versions of bios for the Km-t6-al1 motherboard, in release order, put out by jamicon.nl when it was active. I am looking for the three bios that I am still missing in order to see if I manage to install one that functions perfectly, that is these:

Code: Select all

AL1V12 ## 44D7 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX rev 1.2 12/18/97-i440LX-2A69Jk19C-00 No AUTO 

AL1_0224 ## F3E0 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX Release 19980224 02/23/98-i440LX-19980216C-00 No AUTO 

AL1_0320 ## 57B9 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX Release 19980320-0 03/21/98-i440LX-19980216C-00 No AUTO
However I am also unsure that the problem is the BIOS. I realise that the driver required for the 82433LX chip could also be the issue; on one of the Intel sites I have read that the problem of "freezing" may be introduced with the USB ports driven directly from the chip. A further issue but one which cancels the previous one is that if I use a PCI USB card with its own chip, I still get the problem, but worse.

Another feature of my original BIOS that was erased, which is different to the other versions I have tested (AL1_091, AL1_0308) were functions (such as CPU temerature monitoring, Supervisor password, etc.,) which have disappeared in later versions.

Editor (NickS): cannot translate:
Non vorrei che il chip 82443LX se non seguito correttamente dal bios facesse delle pazzie ovvero andasse in pallone (per i cazzi sui)!!!!!!!
ets.freetranslation.com translates it as;
I would not want that the chip 82443LX if I do not continue correctly from the bios facesse of the insanities that is went in ball (for the cazzi on the)

A last notable difference and one that I think is the root cause of the major problems with the BIOS AL1_0910 is that as you can see the BIOS string reports EX instead of LX.
I believe that the motherboard in question was assembled during the course of its production using different chips, first the LX and then the EX, which would be similar but not the same!! I do not even understand why they called it KM-T6-AL1, seeing that if I am not mistaken AL1 is also a chip; that is to say why use it if the motherboard is to be produced with LX and perhaps EX. It would not be that perhaps some example was produced also with chip AL1? What a gambling-house ! However I think not because there is and I have never seen a BIOS with a string AL1.

My PC configuration:
Jamicon KM-T6-AL1 Rev 1:1, chipset Intel FW82443LX, 1 AGP, 3DIMM, 4 PCI, 3 ISA, 2USB
Pentium II 233
Audio card AWE64
Video card S3
384MB SDRAM

I hope that someone in possession of the three BIOSes in question can post them to me.

Thanks again

Ciao

19980216c is also reported on the P6LX2, which sounds like a Luckytech board. Maybe they were OEMing Jamicon stuff. Or the other way around. Jamicon/Kaimei/Fastfame/Luckytech is one big morass.

Belsaggio/Supercody,
I hope you do not mind that I translated your message again. I think you used "babelfish". This makes mistakes like translating "EX" to "former".

This may not help you, but I can explain a little about the "AL1". The chipset that you mean is "ALI", "Acer Logic Inc".

If you look at the names of some of the links in the motherboard info at archive.org you will see "KMT6_al3.htm" for KM-642L, "KMT6_ab1.htm" for KM646B and "KMT6_el1.htm" for KM-643E/L. It seems they changed the naming scheme after the KM-T6-AL1, but the website design was already using the old scheme.

Are you sure that your PSU is adequate ?
Are you using all 3 DIMM slots for your 384 MB ?

Examine this picture closely. Is it identical to your board? (just asking because I'm a proud owner of a 643E-AT, LX chipset).

Ho trovato una persona in internet che ha il bios originale che cerco AL1V12 ## 44D7 MB-KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX KMT6-AL1 Intel 440LX rev 1.2 12/18/97-i440LX-2A69Jk19C-00 No AUTO


I have not still received the e-mail with bios.

Non ho ancora ricevuto il bios via e-mail.

When I am in possession of the bios I will put to disposition for downloads.

Quando verrò in possesso del bios lo mettero a disposizione su vari siti per lo scaricamento.

Thanks.

Grazie.

Dear friends, i have found a mainboard similar a Jamicon/Kamei KM-T6-AL1.

Cari amici ho trovato una scheda madre che assomiglia quasi in tutto a quella in mio possesso ovvero KM-T6-AL1

it is this: http://www.dt.ru/complect/mainboard/ls/ls_6alx2.htm
è questa: http://www.embeddedlogic.com/TH99/m/I-L/36012.htm


it can work the bios of this mainboard "6alx2" in my mainboard "KM-T6-AL1"??????????????????????????
Può funzionare il bios di questa scheda madre "6alx2" nella mia "KM-T6-AL1????????????

These are the bios:

These Biosfile you listed are for a Lucky-Star mainboard and not for your Jamicon/Kaimei mainboard - do not use them !!

DIP/Jumperless :
DIP means all settings (CPU multiplier + FSB + maybe VCore) are configured via DIP-swithes or jumpers
Jumperless means many - if not all - settings are configured within Bios

Can you test with only two ? Some boards could not drive 3 memory slots well.

Ciao Nicks,
i have tested with one slot 128MB, two slot 128MB,

two dimm 64Mb+64Mb.

Task that the problem is not the memory.

I using the memory PC133
