    Smile PC-Chips Board and BIOS flash

    First of all I want to say that i did not buy the pc-chips board!! Im not a fan of pc-chips at all and would not like anyone to think i would spend my money on a pc-chips product!

    I have an old M741LMRT PC100 board. Been looking around for a while but I have not found a BIOS flash for the board. Does anyone know the lastest version or date of the BIOS for this board and a download location for the flash?

    I cant be arsed to look myself anymore! Im going out to enjoy the sunshine <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

    PC-Chips M741LMRT by the looks of it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

    Really, don't try to flash the BIOS, half the ROM's on PC-Chips site don't work and will just kill your board (trust me, I've got a stack of flashed PC-Chips boards in my loft... dead... all dead. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

    Thanks thats great. Ill leave the ROM sitting on my HD until i get the guts up to find out if it will die. According to Pc-Chips the LMRT and the LRT are the same but they like to make it just a little harder than normal.

    Why not to try my BIOS recovery tips posted about year ago at Windrivers forums?
    It works for me, why it shouldn't work for You?

    Unhappy

    I do remember...but I just checked the link again and couldn't find my own topic either - my topic has gone... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> again... Every time Scott does updating UBB, my topic disappears...
    Never mind - I have stored my topic on disk, and I was going to update my topic anyway... I'll let You know by PM...
