Hello!
My English is not very well so sorry for that ;)!
First; Since the last days i've bought a used ThinClient...there is no CD-Rom, no hdd and no floppy in it, so my intention was to flash the bios to boot from usb, because i think with the current bios version i can't boot from usb!
So i search for the manufactor of this board and i think i've found him. It is Global Circuit Technology! I searched for bios updates from this manufactor but i dont find anything!
i have the award bios id:
05/22/2000-GXm-Cx5530-2A434G9HC-00

maybe u can help me!
thx!

AFAIR no USB boot with an old Award 4.51 or 4.60 core Bios.

Der verwendete 4.xx Bioskern von Award ist zu alt um starten von USB zu unterstützen. Zumindestens ist mir noch kein solches Bios untergekommen. Wurde erst mit dem 6.xx Bioskern eingeführt.
-> Bios-ID beginnt mit 2 = Award 4.xx Bios, bei Beginn mit 6 wäre es ein 6.x Bios

as Denniss already said: no USB boot with old AWARD cores. and i don't think that there's a bios update anyway.

Mainboard is a SuperTek ST-3WT and it should have a full featured IDE port onboard. CompactFlash cards can be connected to IDE with a simple 1:1 adapter. cpu/chipset is a Cyrix (or later NSC and even later AMD) Geode GXm/GX1 + CS5530A, so you'd better install Linux to get UDMA/33 support ;)

i've one of those machines running here as a (internet via WLAN from my neighbours :)) router/squid.engine
very nice machines. replace the cpu cooler with a std. pentium 1 or K6-2 cooler. no fans needed. mine has an uptime of 3 month now :) and counting...
If you email me include [WIMSBIOS] in the subject.

Have you got a manual for that thing or at least a jumper/front panel connection layout? Lots of people are looking for that.

sorry, no manual. but i can make a pinout for the front-panel connectors, a jumper map and fsb/multiplier settings. there was a thread about that mainboard a while ago but noone wanted the fsb/multiplier matrix i hacked from the pcb.
