2 QUESTIONS ON MOBO'S
Is it possible to buy bios chip's for pcchips mobos in the uk? also I have a chaintech board that is running perfectly exept com ports don't work, it is a chaintech 5AGM2, I know about different pinouts, but I don't think that is the problem, I have no mouse, I need a ATX card which plugs into board, anyone know where I might accuire one? it adds ps/2 mouse , usb, and infa red support, I have an asus one put plug is larger.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

I have a brand new ATX I/O card here with 2xUSB, 1xPS2 and 1xIR. It has an 18pin connector, one pin of which is blanked off (in the middle, pin 14). As i'm also in the UK, if you email me your address i'll send it to you FOC.

Chaintech mobo is a board I am doing up for a friend, I flashed bios, it is a ss7 board
with good spec only I got no mouse without com ports,
the pcchips boards are giving no video signal,
so I assumed bios chips are dead, one was dead when I accuired it, the other after I upgraded bios.

Does these BIOS chips are phisically dead or simply have wrong info written on?
If so, these flash chips can be reflashed back using hot-swap and uniflash util (what I have mentioned many times,by the way). You can use Your Chaintech motherboard as host for reflashing... Have You ever done it before?

By the way,if You flashed Chaintech mobo with wrong BIOS version (even written for exactly the same motherboard,but for another I/O chip), COM ports (quite often also FDD and LPT) will not work at all...

chaintech was right bios, com ports did'nt work before flash, I think it may just be pin-outs, I am clueless on pcchips reflashing as I cant get any video signal how can I reflash, I don't really want to mess with chaintech board, I will try and find another board for that.

Pinouts for PS/2 (and USB also) connector are listed in manual for that motherboard (pages 14-15).
I just have downloaded that manual from http://www.chaintech.co.yu/podrska/uputstva/5AGM2-Manual.pdf

Thanks Ruslan, I already had that though, what my problem is the conecter for the ps2 mouse bracket is different and wount plug in to chaintech board, so I can only attach wires idividually, only I need to know what colour wire goes on what pin. (i.e. red to ps/2 data)
