Hi >Maybe PhoenixBIOS can't support on boot 2 VGA devices? No BIOS can handle two PCI graphic cards! Older D8xx boards do disable internal VGA (Tseng) as soon as you plug in another graphics card. Do you have any other PCI graphics card to test (an older one, S3, ATI or Matrox based)? If this card d...

This latest release, being from March 97, does surely not support anything beyond 8GB. No go for Win9x and ME. As you are going to install Linux, the situation is different. The Bios opnly needs to provide support for booting and the boot partition "/boot". 100MB is more than enough here. The rest w...

Hi So we have found two more siblings of the Syl8884/M921/ST1-A http://th2chips.freeservers.com/ -> Syl... My Bios chips are SST, but were also covered with black paint.

We might have a M505 there.

The ASD gets identfied as Winbond 29EE010/11 or 29C020 (1/2 MBit) and could be replaced with such a chip without any problems.

Don't know about the relationships of both companies...

I'd throw it away.
