BIOS Updates forum

That 5.0 vs. 5.5 thing was my usual "copy and paste then forget to change everything" mistake.
Yeah, I noticed that right away... ;)

Sorry to hear about your CPU "mispurchase", the one you have now will not make a big difference. The K6plus is the way to go, and since you are still shopping for ...

LSnapp, thank you for the kind words.
All we really need now is this BIOS update, and we'd be really happy, right Doug and Elton?

As far as your CPU upgrade is concerned, you were actually supposed to change some dip-switch settings on your motgherboard in order to be able to run your new K6plus ...

Well, that's a very poor attitude. They wrote the proprietary Toshiba BIOS, presumably for money. Why wouldn't they be willing to write another? or just make the small changes necessary to make entering the CMOS settings more than an exercise in futility.
Doug, since you seem to know them and ...

Guys,
for those of you looking to help us out, here 's a link to the latest BIOS for our Laptops offered by Toshiba: v1.14.

If I find an extra HDD I will install Windows and try this program, until then I don't know what ...

Good luck,

I have the same problem guys.
I have (had, I guess) an ECS L7VMM3 rev. 3.0c motherboard. I make the stupid mistake of flashing it with the latest BIOS for the 1.0c version because ECS' website is poorly designed. The mobo is now dead, won't post.

Dear KachiWachi, I appreciate your advice however I know Jan's page by memory and although his patched BIOSes have helped me a lot in the past with Super Socket 7 motherboards, in this case it is not going to help me for the simple reason that I am working on a Laptop and Jan's page ...

Dear WimsBIOS Community,
me and a couple of fellow 1605CDS/1625CDT owners may really use your help here.

I own a Toshiba Satellite 1605CDS which is equipped with an ALi Chipset and Super Socket 7 platform (Phoenix BIOS). This unit came with a K6-2 450MHz, but there's a row of dip-switches on the ...
