BIOS Updates forum

My friend has a Panasonic CF-25 toughbook and it has a standard socket 7 interface and had a standard pmmx 2.8v 166mhz cpu. The pll is a Microclock MK1491E-02r (ps anyone have a cross ref or utilities to change the settings on this pll using cpucool?) Anyway we put a p200mmx cpu in the machine and r...

What manufacturer or system do you guys think this could be from. There may be support from a site that uses the board but only lists it by a system name. I am still finding nothing on it through the usual sources.

Cheers

This board I think is referenced here http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Common_Carrier/Public_Notices/Part68_Actions/2001/g2kfeb23.txt It is a gateway (not Gateway 2000) LC2PC I think but this seems to be a nothing board and a non-existant manufacturer if it is true. model: 601M-24AGM Rev mp1.0 PCB No: BA4...

Oops, I failed to mention that, YES it definately is a laptop That is why I wanted to double check it had a low voltage socket 7 interface as opposed to that MMC stuff before I break the case to get the heatsync and cpu out. I will be going home this weekend and I could run that proggy on it, but I'...

can't seem to remove all the heatsyncs and other garbage easily to find out for certain and the internet is seemingly worthless as Everex is dead. Anyway, I am wondering if anyone knows if this indeed has a socket 7 low voltage interface and if I could put a low voltage p266mmx in it or maybe a lapp...

ftp://www.omnitechcorp.com/pub/mba/ This site is WORTH archiving as it has a LOT of Micronics motherboard bios's including unofficial and beta ones as well and my problem is fixed. But a word of warning, I own Omnitech PCs and am entitled to use the site because I am a customer. I believe that if yo...

I have found something out the hard way. Anyway I have several Micronics m6mi ppro based systems now onto the problem I noticed that the newer smo4 and smo5 bios releases found widely on the net claim they support larger hard drives and decided to upgrade one of the units phoenix bios that has been ...

It locks before the date is shown, the video bios pops up and then about 2 lines of the regular bios show CPU = then it locks without the bottom half showing. I will have to see if anyone locally has a PII 233 cpu so I can test this board and possibly flash the bios chip. There is an EPROM burner he...

I have an old AZZA PT-6IFB PII motherboard that supports PII 233-333 according to the manual. It also says supports voltages of 1.8v and up. I only have a PII 350Mhz processor and a Celeron 400Mhz processor on a sloket. The PII 350 should work as the board supports the voltage yet when I try it lock...

My suggestion is return the board if you can, if not you can either 1. Run the chip stable at 1150. 2. Buy a normal Athlon T-Bird 1400Mhz 3. Although the m810lmr rev 5 isn't fully compatible with XP chips, it can run them with a 100Mhz bus. If you are fairly knowlegable you can cut and pencil in bri...

2.5v can drive a k6-2 but this motherboard doesn't have an adequate power plane to handle the chip at 2.5v. I put a gigantic heatsync on the linear voltage reg and it still super heats with a k6-2 installed, if I left it on 15-20 minutes it would blow up

This board is pretty severly crippled by the sounds of it.

Too bad no one made a "modified" bios for this clunker. It looks like I will be stuck with a Cyrix PR300 (not recognized correctly), 2gb hd and 64mb for a while.

Has anyone tried bios's from other boards on this?

I have the infamous gct 8stb motherboard and am wondering where I could get the newest bios.

Also what chipset does this have 5577? Huh?

Thanx

But now I am wondering what could cause a motherboard to run completely stable, boot and everything but lock whenever I go into the bios?

Perhaps I will never know, the board works well in windows 98 but I can't enter the bios without it locking.

Oh well

I am just wondering I have a GA-7Zm Rev. 2.21 motherboard.

Does anyone know if this board can accept Duron Morgan processors?

Thanx
Ryan
