BIOS Updates forum

NickS,

the motherboard has a label 11h9669 ibm fru 55, the risercard has printed on the board the following 60h9499 and caep301901. does that mean anything to you?

greetz

indeed, there is a risercard mounted on the mobo, which has (top-bottom) 1 pci, 1 shared isa/pci (which contains the scsi), 2 dedicated isa and 3 pci slots. whether there are any pci-slots inactive i don't know where to look for: can i see somewhere in the surepath-bios if there are pci-slots deacti...

hi guys, You have the SCSI card in your shared slot, and your Trident Video Card in another...correct? If so, you have at least 2 PCI slots working... the scsi-card is in the shared slot (and the associated isa is empty as it should be) but the trident video chip is on board! - Can you tell us exact...

Hi NickS, - Yes, the output is when the USB card was installed - I do have 3 spare PCI-slots, but the problem is that they don't seem to respond (when i plug the scsi-card in one of the free slots i can't boot the system anymore - Concerning the CMOS, the Surepath-bios doesn't seem to offer me much ...

hi there, a friends daughter is a poor student and still works with an old aptiva 2168 (pentium 100). last week her printer died so she had to buy another one and because usb-printers are nowadays the cheapest in the market she asked me to put an usb-add-on card in her pc so she could start printing...

If I got it right, inserting the HDD parameters manually as user-defined works ok? indeed it works, but only partially: the pc starts up because the bios doesn't stops when starting (when hdd set to auto bios keeps searching for a hd), but the behaviour of win98se (and even dr-dos for the wd-diagno...

upgrade bios done, bios id has changed from 62-1217-001437-00101111-071595-440bx to 62-0321-001437-00101111-071595-440BX. when pc starts up the first screens indicate the new bios-date, but when i use ctbios i still get the old date. weird!

ajz,

thank you very much for your support, i'll try to do the upgrade tomorrow and i'll keep you informed!

thanx

AJZ, indeed, it looks a full 100% like the picture of the m750i sorry for the trouble, but i didn't even thought that the second brown socket could be a second processor slot, i thought it was an agp slot altough it was in een awfull position to mount a video-card (why on earth would they put two pr...

i've found a way to show the pictures of the mobo: i've downloaded them at the following adress:

maybe this can help

thanks

AJZ, i'm beginning to doubt if the mobo is really a pcchips-board (although bios-checks say so), because i can't find one in the database that gives a full match with the components on it. it certainly isn't an M767, because the lay-out is completely different, i would like to show you a photo of th...

hi, sorry to bother, but it's me again: after taken a close look at the pictures on the site and the motherboard of the computer, i see there are some significant differences: the mobo in the troubled pc looks very similar to the models pii3100a and b but the ide and floppy controllers aren't locate...

thank you, your tip was helpfull (the database wasn't wrong, i did a query with faulty parameters, there are 4 instead of 3 PCI slots), i've found that it should be either a pii-3100a or b, but i can't see the difference between them. i'll print out the manuals and see if i can find something (i've ...

i've checked the "don't know"-section already, but can't find matching results (probably i enter something wrong but i don't know where)
the computer which causes the problems is an celeron 500 machine, with 440bx chipset, 3 isa and 3 pci-slots, 3 memory-slots, 2 usb-ports,sound and vga onboard.

hi there, can anyone help me in identifying my motherboard? i want to do a bios-upgrade (ami-biosdate is now 7/15/95) because i have troubles installing a new caviar wd400 harddisk. the bios-id says 62-1217-001437-00101111-071595-440bx, so i have found out that it should be a pcchips-board, but i ca...
