Hello everybody
I am seeking for BIOS for MB Canyon CN-6XBAS, not for CN-6XBAS-T and can't find it! Please heeeeelp
The problem is that the two mainboards have different chipsets - Via Apollo 133A (694X/686B) and Via Apollo 133T (694T/686B)!

All I could find was an archived copy of the second BIOS release:

BIOS Information────────────────────────────────
BIOS Version : Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
BIOS Info : 04/23/2001-694X-686A-6A6LJD4GC-00
BIOS Message :
BIOS ID : 6A6LJD4G
The BIOS string identifies it as a DFI motherboard. Canyon-Tech is only a reseller, so you'll most probably find more recent releases at DFI's website.
Look for the VIA694X/686A combinations here:

(check the blue socket370 section)
And compare all of the mobo pictures to find one that matches your board 100%.
Many thanks to ajzchips

As you wrote above I compared the two mainboards and I found that Canyon CN-6XBAS and DFI CA64-BC are exactly the same. The only difference is that on CN-6XBAS there is no sign what is its model. On DFI threre is CA64-B near the north bridge. I compared the two files (binary) - those you link me and those from DFI's site. No difference!
So because my old BIOS was destroyed I went in a firm that programs EEPROMs and flashed my chip. Now everything is OK
And what I mean destroyed BIOS?
When I was turning on my PC It was hanging on Updating DMI Pool.....
This is a well known error but I couldnt find a BIOS for my motherboard
So many thanks for your heeeelp
