Hi All!
This may be one for Ruslan; I'm trying to resurrect an old system for a friend and hoping to find some info (and maybe a BIOS update) for this motherboard.
Brand: Top Gun
AMI BIOS 11/16/1997 S
51-0505-001437-00111111-071595-M1531/43-001_10_TX_PRO-H
What little I've been able to dig up indicates it may be a PC Chips or Alton board.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA
yes 1437 is Pc chips - www.pcwave.com and look at the discontinueds...

Spot on, NooNoo!
I've got the updated BIOS, but I'm not sure which flash utility I should use. There's four on the site for AMI, as I recall, using the wrong one can cause problems.
Trying to find a manual is next.
Thanks again for the speedy help, NooNoo. :)
I'm a bit late, but... ;)
Top Gun is really one of numerous PCChips clones/resellers...
By the way, what the problem you're going to fix by that BIOS update, if it is not a secret? ;) - PCChips is famous for their poor support...
You can read more about AMIflash utility (and find AMIflash utility) on Gigabyte site http://tw.giga-byte.com/support/bios.htm
This utility called as "universal" and it is really universal one... ;)
Thanks, Ruslan. I downloaded the universal flash utility, I'll be saving that for later use.
I was hoping to update the BIOS to recognize a 12GB drive to be used with the system. I have a couple of back-up plans if the update doesn't work.
It's getting harder and harder to keep these old systems going; guess I'll have to start updating my stash of "junk" parts.
Thanks again for your help. :)
