unfortunately, my mboard manufacturers (GTC) website, seems to be dead. I am desperately trying to upgrade the bios on my mediagx board, to enable network boot (Boot from LAN). it also seems to be the only company making the 2a433 series.

anybody know of where i could get the image other than from the manufacturer ? or if i could just use a whole new BIOS alltogether ? or if there is another way in which I could enable boot from LAN.


thank you

What board do you have? BIOS ID string would also help...

MediaGX 5520 board, made by GTC

It's probably GCT MGXi 5520 board. The only BIOS I found is on PowerColor page and is older than yours:
06/29/1998-GXm-Cx5520-2A433G99C-00
Cyrix MediaGXM MMX (062998)

Can you save your BIOS to a file and send it to my e-mail?
