It's not that board - the BIOS is for W977EF Super I/O chip (not W977TF) "03/07/2000-i440BX-W977EF-MAX-BX2C-SI". Looke like it's the Atrend one "05/25/1999-i440BX-W977TF-BX-440B-VH".

Hello

When I try upgrade with http://www.amaxhk.com/support/download.htm

and the awdflash say:

¡The program file's part number does not match with your system!


What can I do?

The version at: http://www.nix.ru/support/drivers.html? ... vendor=129

is:
05/25/1999-i440BX-W977TF-BX-440B-VH
BX-440B VER:1.1 07 WB

BTW, this BIOS doesn't have support for large HDDs either.

Looks like the Amax page on Wim's Bios Manufacturer Links needs fixing, as that BIOS string is listed under Amax. :)

I can patch the Atrend's BIOS and send it by e-mail if you want.
