Looks like Gemlight GMB-6292 v0.
Found something at http://web.archive.org/web/200102110019 ... tibios.htm. However the BIOS images are not archived.

There might be equivalent board from DTK - we need more information - does the board have Slot 1 or Socket 370 for the CPU? How many DIMM slots does it have? Chipset type (at least south bridge - something like VT82C586B?) Any onboard peripherals (sound...)?
Patched and tested BIOSes are at http://wims.rainbow-software.org

Researching a bit:

1) http://web.archive.org/web/200010261545 ... x/bios.htm

This link mentiones BIOS versions V1.21 (6292V121.ZIP, 31/7/2000) and V1.12 (92V112.ZIP, 24/1/2000, without "watchdog"). The links don't work because they point to an FTP server, which archive.org cannot make copies of.

2) A Google search for 6292V121 revealed nothing.

3) A search for 92V112 revealed some download sites:
- http://www.mydrivers.com/dir14/d5805.htm
- http://www.hongen.com/pc/drvdown/bios/luckystar.htm
- http://www.din.or.jp/~sir2vtec/old89.html
- http://my815.myetang.com/22222/js/qu/MB ... ystar-.htm

Now, these 4 sites tell us that:
1) The board is identical to the DTK PRM-92V (E0) board.
2) Seems like a Luckystar clone of some sort (see how many times the BIOS file is included among Luckystar mobos, and the coincidence of the name of the file).

The DTK site (http://www.dtk.com.tw) does include recent and nice BIOS updates, a manual, etc.:

BTW, the site includes V1.22, newer than V1.21 mentioned above these lines.

09/29/2000-694A-686A-2A6LGD1FC-00
(2A6LGD1F) DTKPRM92V.P02.01.22-V1.22

Oh, one more thing: "BIOS already supports HDDs over 32GB & 64GB" :)
