BIOS Updates forum

Hi everyone!

I have an old maxdata computer, with a special P4S800-MX-S motherboard.
I doesn't support 1680x1050, and i would like to know if someone could mod me a bios for this...

I have a link to the latest bios for this motherboard (can't put a link, since i have under 10 posts...), which is, again, special, as it uses an AMI bios (512k), instead of an AWARD bios (256k), therefore the standard bios from the original P4S800-MX can't be used on this one.
I can attach the ROM file if needed (the file i linked is the original extractor from Maxdata).

would be nice if someone with a real floppy drive could unpack the bios and upload it somewhere (megaupload, etc.)
the archiver doesn't like virtual floppies *sigh*

bios is here

I found a floppy, and wrote the bios on it.
I still can't provide links, but i uploaded the bios on megaupload, with id : 1H680MX6, if someone want to take a lot at it...

It looks like this bios may be compatible with widescreen resolutions (which the 1008-1 that I tested is not), as i am able now to use 1680x1050 successfully.

No information about that though in the changelog... Weird...

I have used the floppy in order to update the bios, i don't know if asus update would have worked (with the .ROM file), but was not really willing to try...


The thread can be locked, as my issue is now solved.

Hi, hoping to solve too I am desperate to look for PS800-MX-S (MAXDATA) motherboard bios file, I saw you have it. Could you send it to me, I would be very grateful.

Hi,
Sorry I cannot help you with this, I no longer have access to this computer as it was in a place I worked a long time ago, I left there in 2013... I have not kept any files from that place...
Best of luck though! This computer was a big pain to work with...

what version do you have right now? I'll see if I can find a newer one.
