No, apparently the BIOS module named "Notebook" is just the power-management BIOS kernel. Btw, if I do end up removing some modules - how are they called from the main BIOS portion? Do I need to patch out the calls too, or are BIOS modules simply not called into if they aren't present in AMI BIOS? I...

Thanks ajzchips, that was helpful. Ritchie, I apologize, I was wrong. It isn't strictly because of the presence of the PXE boot-rom, because some form of it has been present in the BIOS since version 1.0. There are three versions, first one was in 1.0-1.1 and is 38,912 bytes, second one was in 1.2-1...

Ritchie, I'm sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree with everything that you have posted. Did you read my other two background-story links? I go into more detail there. The problem has nothing to do with hardware resource assignments or configuration, that I can tell. If it did, then it doesn't ...

MSI MS-6712 KT4V-L v1.0 - need BIOS 1.B minus PXE bootrom

Greetings smart people of WimsBIOS, I need your help. Thank you. I recently discovered an upgraded version of the BIOS for my board, and flashed it. But it causes every HD except for my first to not be recognized as a BIOS physical disk. Instead of BIOS disks 0x80, 0x81, and 0x82, I only get 0x80. T...

12V chips won't flash at with only 5V. Is it something like ST M28F101? I never seen ST chip on a motherboard :) Yep, that's the one. N.B. A little bad news; I had the system all ready to go for someone, decided to swap some memory around, later had no-boot memory error beeps, no matter what I did....

Good news! I wasn't able to find the right reference BIOS yet on nec-computers.com, but I was messing with the system again, and it booted! I guess I didn't kill the BIOS after all, there must have been some other problem preventing it from booting. I also noticed, that the BIOS chip in this case is...

NEC Ready 7020 desktop - killed BIOS

NEC Ready 7020 Pentium 75 desktop. Killed the original Phoenix BIOS trying to use this system to hotflash another one. (Don't ask - I left the flash-recovery floppy in the drive, and it tried to flash the original BIOS.) Anyway, I don't have a copy of the original BIOS, but I have discovered that th...

Please post your full Bios-ID ! I know of a 8433UUD but this board normally has a EPROM installed - not flashable . This board should support up to 4GB or up to 8GB - anything higher supported with drive overlay software or with an Add-On UDMA Controller card(if you have PCI-Slots) . I have an 8433...
