BIOS Updates forum

Okay... I'll have to ask my computer science friends. About the floppy controller, I just meant that the Windows device manager shows the floppy controller on this computer to be on the PCI bus. But then I checked with Linux's lspci command on my Pentium 166 router and on this computer, and in neith...

Thanks for the idea! Thing is, I don't know where I'd get one of those. And since a PCI video card works, wouldn't a floppy controller on the PCI bus work also?

New update. An older PCI video card got me an image on the screen, and it was telling me that there was a Drive A media error, which is why it was doing those endless beeps. The floppy light never came on. I tried 2 drives, both of which work, each with either the "cross-over" ribbon or the straight...

I tried putting in a PCI video card, and now the long beep, two short beeps has gone away, but the endless and fast beep beep beep is still there. Award says that the only "official" beep code is long beep, two short beeps, and that anything else is most likely a RAM probelm. I have a stick of 128MB...

Hey that's it! That's like my card. Thanks! So now I need a "pure" ISA video card...

Hey forum! I am back! Some might remember my post "Uniflash: 2 chipsets, 2 chips" in the BIOS Utilities and Flash Programs section. Well I did the hot-flashing, flashed the upper half of the chip, and booted with the newly flashed chip. Long beep, two short beeps, pause, beep, beep, beep, endlessly....

If they're differet versions, it makes sense that they are different. Otherwise, why update a BIOS if the next version is exactly the same as the one you had?

As for the viruses, I think such viruses exist, but don't quote me on that.

You boot into DOS and run the executable, making sure it has access to the other binary file (they have to both be on the floppy if you boot from one). From that point on it's pretty self-explanatory. Another thing though: I don't know much about this, but on older boards like this one, the multipli...

But if the pin is connected to 5V, why can't we also bend it and connect it to the A17 pin on an ISA slot?

And this is so cool! Thanks for the information!

I came up with an idea, I'd like some input on whether it's crazy or not. Even if my friend's motherboard only supports 128KB chips, can I use it to hot-flash those first 128KB on my 256KB chip? The boot block on my chip would then be functional, and I could use to flash the rest of the chip? This m...

Sorry, I just realized I posted this in the wrong place. Never noticed there was an "BIOS Utilities & Flash Programs" section.

enjoy!

Hello forum, First, my question: if both the chipset and the BIOS chip are supported by Uniflash, and if the chip will fit on the motherboard, then I can flash that chip on that motherboard regardless of ROM size and pin assignment? Correct? Now, if you have time, read the rest, which, without being...
