Seeking Biostar Bios Chip Info (M6TBA 1.4)
George wrote :
Hi I've got a couple PII boards, which I foolishly removed the bios chips on. I've probably still got the chips, but can't figure out which goes to what. I have the bios file and an external programmer. If anyone has an M6TBA ver 1.4, could you let me know what the exact type of 32 pin chip is that they use. please reply in the newsgroup Thanks a lot! George PS- The other biosless board is a Shuttle Hot661, but I see they have their own group. I'll go ask over there unless someone knows that one too. ordinary eprom is fine Pozdrawiam. -- RusH // http://pulse.pdi.net/~rush/qv30/ Like ninjas, true hackers are shrouded in secrecy and mystery.

Assuming this is for the Biostar, do you mean *not* a flash chip, but an actual (UV type) EPROM? yes, the only difference between the two will be "unknown flash" message when booting I don't think any of the ones I've dealt with go up that far in capacity, but I'll look into it. The bios file itself looks to be 256k. When I looked at flash chip pinouts a while back, not only were there a variety of programming voltages, but the pin configurations were way different from one brand to the next. pins are fine after you flash it in the programmer, alternativelly you can take any flash chip from broken board and flash it with 'uniflash' with the hotswap trick Pozdrawiam. -- RusH // http://pulse.pdi.net/~rush/qv30/ Like ninjas, true hackers are shrouded in secrecy and mystery.
