This chart is DOS specific? No Win/GUI test ?

I read sometime ago topic on rom.by about how to combine Intel BIOS flash parts in one file, maybe its real and flash it using mr.bios from Gateway 2000 (Intel 430VX). But its to unusual and deep theoretical.

I look jumpers manual where J9c1-B group where 1-2 (flash normal), 2-3 (flash protect) and user manual where J9c1-B group where 1-2 (bios setup enable), 2-3 (bios setup disable). This is strange. And factory configured J9c1-B 4-6 (do not alter)… maybe its interesting jumpers for override? 😉

All good Win-accellerators are to weak in DOS and vice-versa. So the best solution is 2Mb Cirrus, S3 or Trident card.

SET ALL JUMPERS IN DEFAULT POSITION AND LOAD BIOS SETUP DEFAULTS! Then boot from floppy in usual mode or set BIOS RECOVERY jumper and boot in blind-mode

I create floppy image with minimal MSDOS 6.2 installation and BIOS P04 for your board. It looks one-to-one as flash floppy for my TC430HX board an SHOULD work. At last in recovery mode it SHOULD give some sound from floppy (sound of floppy boot). Just unzip and write floppy using some image write/ …

Isn't that an error you get when trying a standard cross-flash between an Intel retail BIOS (ID string 4L3TT0X0.86A ) and an Intel OEM BIOS (ID String 4L3TT0X0.15A for Gateway say!) - is that what you were trying? No, he try to flash original Intel BIOS. It looks like best way to create DOS boot …

The latest pics seem to confirm that it's not an OEM board after all, but an Intel retail version and from the later production runs based on the AA678039-104 / 4L3TT0X0.86A.0007.P03 basic ID info, so the Gateway BIOS file (7502875.exe) linked above isn't really appropriate for this board. One …

Do you flash from HDD or from FDD? Did you try flash from floppy in recovery mode with recovery jumper enable? This time i try flash from HDD, do you think to need flash from Floppy? I try. About recovery mode - if i put jumper in this mode, PC loading but without any image on the display, just a …
