BIOS Updates forum

Well, You need boot_disk_A for your system start up from usb-pen... What kind of system do You need to start from usb-memorystick? About myself: I have old mobo, BIOS 4.51G (upgraded), but no usb_boot support..! But my memostick (usb_pendrive) with DSLinux boots up with special bootdisk (A-drive in ...

I've flashed AT29C010 chip with biosfile O2-006.bin for hdd>32GB support.
Now it works fine&stable with my hdd Seagate Barracuda ST340014A 40GB. The bios supports hdd<128GB as at the startscreen it shows.

A question is:
is it possible to update(grade) BIOSfile to boot from USB pendrive my ATC-5000 (Atrend) mobo?
Mobo has USB 1.1 (backplate x2 sock.); All devices (cameras, memo-cards readers, external box for hdd&cdrom are properly recognized!

best regards,

Is anyone can "broke" my AMI BIOS for hdd>32GB..? I will send it via e-mail.

Borg: Yes!!! You're Great! My camera's batteries' out of order... no photo, sorry. Any details about Your "adapter" at attached photo, please? Rainbow: There are 28DIP flashroms, are'n they? I can't remember type any of Atmel's, but there are they! Can Uniflash flashs EEPROMS - when I will set "12V"...

Well, I've tried to hot-swap flash AT28C65B with Uniflash. I hot-swapped in mobo "5v-1A" BIOS socket but it seems uniflash does not support chip AT28C64B... But if that chip will be implemented into Uniflash..? I used combination of two "precision" sockets 32DIP --> 28DIP, and prepared their pins fo...

YES! But they should be:
DIP28: 28=>32 DIP32
DIP28: 27=>31 DIP32
DIP28: 26=>30 DIP32
DIP28: 25=>27 DIP32
DIP28: 24=>26 DIP32
etc...
So, VCC to VCC in DIP28 & DIP32! (28=>32)
DIP32: 28.&29 - not connected.
Next time I give foto of my "adapter", OK?

Borg - it is what I mean!
Tomasz.

Look out to merge chip 28DIP with chip 32DIP! According to, for example, Atmel's chip: AT28C64B (28DIP) --> AT29C010A (32DIP, comon flash memory for BIOS'es upgrades) - comparing pins as described in Atmel's datasheets: 28DIP 32DIP ........................................ NC-1 | | 32-VCC (5V) .........

Well, maybe that was my post about flashing FlashROM with PCI car (NIC). The socket of the NIC was really 28, not 32 pins...
But, after all, You try to hot-flash with another mobo, see FAQ on that forum&search posts about hot-flashing!
Good luck!
Tomasz.

May I use 512KB flash ROM to flash 256KB .bin biosfile? What about "free" 256KB memory???
Tomasz.

TNX, ajzchips!
I'll check them this week... if I could take that comp..!
It is very "important" machine in our office... I must be sure not to crush it.
My home comps were for "practise" fash&hot flash bioses...
In the office things MUST go right, You see.
