BIOS Updates forum

Hi,

I just had a bad flash, the computer froze during flashing the BIOS even though I followed Manufacture's instruction, the chip type is PM29F002, chipset is VIA.

All I have on the other motherboard with 2Mbit chip is 29C020, also VIA chipset, and the motherboard is not made by the same company nor using the same chipset.

My question is that can I still use hot flash method with Uniflash to flash 29F002 hot swap with the 29C020?

Thank You.

Well, After I posted, I was spending time comparing the two chip datasheets. I decided I'll give it a shot, and it worked using UniFlash. That was a scary moment, but they both survived. Thanks for the program.

Thanks for report.

You flashed PMC Pm29F002T successfully using UniFlash - so I can mark it as "tested and working"?

Sure, the motherboard is working fine right now thanks to UniFlash.

Thanks very much for the fine program.
