It's a board with SiS 630 or SiS 630E chipset?

[cyberpax]

Hi there Great KURIAKI
thx for the fast reply...
I'm not sure but ... boards manual says that the chipset is an
SiS 630E

Is there any way I can confirm this ... any info on the board itself ??
Well like I said I just downloaded the latested bios rom file form the Matsonic's web site but when I try to flash this rom file I allways get some kind of an error ... This wasn't supose to happen ... since the file comes from the maker's site !?? strange isn't it ?

How can I flash this rom file using amiflash ???

here is the info I was able to find in the boards manual:

This mainboard has a Socket 370, which uses either an IntelPPGA (Plastic Pin Grid Array) Celeron or FCPGA Pentium IIIprocessor.This mainboard supports front-side bus speeds of 66MHz,100MHz or 133MHz.

This mainboard uses the SiS 630E and SiS 630ET(for IntelTualatin CPU only) chipsets which provide CPU Plug & Playthrough firmware, integrates a 128-bit AGP GraphicsAccelerator and has an embedded 10BaseT/100BaseTX NetworkInterface. The mainboard has a built-in PCI 3D Sound System.There is an AMR slot for the AMR device cards .In addition, themainboard has a full set of ATX I/O Ports including PS/2keyboard and mouse ports, two USB ports, a parallel port, a serialport and a VGA port. And two extra USB ports can be added usingthe Extended USB Module that connects to the mainboard.

The PCB version is 1.8 or 3.0?

Hi there I solved the problem !!

I found a new bios file that worked...
here is the link:
http://206.135.80.155/download/bios/ms7 ... 30108S.zip

and used the amiflash 3.40
http://206.135.80.155/download/utility/aminf340.zip

After the flash i got an error 9 bios tag is incorrect

old bios tag is <MS7308E>
new bios tag is <M759LR>

well everything works just fine ... I think that the error 9 i got during flash isn't really a problem !?

Any coments will be welcome !!!

Like I said the board boot's just fine ...

Many thx for all the help dudes

Yours
