BIOS Updates forum

Just to keep you all updated on the BIOS issue, Space Marine is now running the REV:F10 BIOS. This is the latest official BIOS I could find for the Lucky Star P54CE Ver.F board and it is a close match with the original REV:F03 BIOS he send me. This 02/14/97 REV:F10 BIOS has full support for the 3.2V...

Hello Group, Joining this thread to try to solve the BIOS issue and K6 233 support. :) The BIOS-ID seems to point to a Lucky Star P54CE 5I-VX1 board. Space Marine, have you been able to confirm that from the board's markings and is there a Rev. nbr. printed on the board? Sources on the net show more...

Hi RobertR, Joining this thread because I've just finished a new patched BIOS for the Biostar M5ATC with full K6-2CXT/K6-III/K6+ support, including WA. This BIOS supports IDE harddisks up to 128GB as well. I've send you a private e-mail with the BIOS and test procedure. When you are going to use thi...

I don't know what is causing this BIOS Setup hang, but I have a patched Ver. 1.06 BIOS for the M5SIB v2.0 which may sove this problem. Apart from fixing the 32GB and 64GB limit bugs, I've also added K6-2CXT and K6plus support to this BIOS. You can download a copy from http://home.hccnet.nl/j.steuneb...

Hallo Stefan, No, I didn't change my private e-mail address. I received your original message from 8 May 2005, but none after. :? Good to hear the V146_J2 BIOS runs oke. About your remarks: I don't know why you can't switch off normally after W2K shutdown. Can you send me your original v1.35S BIOS s...

Stefan, As I understand it, there are two types of BIOSes used in the Chicony MP983 series, a type "D" and a type "S". The latest version for both types used to be v1.43, but later an updated v1.46S appeared. The v1.43D seems to be the last version for the "D" BIOS. I have patched both the v1.43D an...

KachiWachi, Thanks for helping-out in my abcense. :D Uranium235, Good to hear the patched BIOS and K6-2+ work. About your problem reports: UDMA-2: This should work oke when you use a regular 40-wire IDE flatcable. The drive will "see" that a 80-wire cable, required for higher modes, is not present a...

Uranium235, Patched BIOS sent to your e-mail address... I've added K6-2CXT, K6-III, K6-2+, and K6-III+ support up to 500MHz (6x83). Also did the 32GB and 64GB bugfixes for 128GB IDE support and enabled a large number of previously hidden BIOS options. Let us know how it works. When tested, I will ma...

Hi Inxus,

Done.
Please let us know how the BIOS works and which harddisk you are using.

Keebler, Denniss is right. You're probably running an old BIOS version without K6-2/-3 support. You can see the version of your BIOS in the sign-on message on the BIOS boot screen. It is something like (55XWUQ0D). I've downloaded the latest HOT-557 BIOS versions from Shuttle's web-site and they appe...

An update on this MP-983 BIOS issue; As I understand it, there are two types of motherboards used in the Chicony MP983 notebook series, a type "D" and a type "S". Hence the different BIOSes. The latest version for both types used to be v1.43, but later I found an updated v1.46S. The v1.43D seems to ...

Jackie,

I have a patched and tested ECS P5SD-B+ Ver 1.1k 03/11/1999 BIOS on my site. This patched BIOS works fine with a 120GB drive. Check the link below and download the file P5sdbpj2.zip

Greetings,

Rainbow, thanks for this info. I was unaware of that.

I've already made a Sourcer disassembly listing of the 2a5lah09 beta BIOS for the K6+ mod and I will check if this Int13 extensions "bug" can be fixed.
If not, I will patch the 86a123s BIOS...

Hi All, back from vacation. 8) As I did the 128GB patch for ekoing, let me recap wat has happened so far. Ekoing has an M537 V3.1 and approached me for a patched BIOS with K6-2 / K6-III and 128GB support. At that time he already upgraded to the Amptron PM8600A (86a123s.bin) BIOS (ID: 10/14/97-VXPro-...
