Do you have a link? The only versions I'm finding are very recent, and Google has become heavily biased against anything more than a few years old.

You're in luck - I have one of those that I've been procrastinating selling on Ebay! Suggestion on a flash program to use to save the BIOS?

Did you check the compatibility with Catalina using dosdude's patch? https://dosdude1.com/catalina/ For some reason that patch does nothing. I watched the video on the website and did what he did but nothing happens when opening the patch. I've no suggestions - I've used it on two different laptops …

I stopped by my local computer store today and they had a couple of NOS Titan copper VGA cooler kits that include RAM heat sinks. For $10.00 each I couldn't say no. (Ebay photo)

Finding a driver that works with the card rather than a BIOS that works with the driver was an interesting solution, very good. I was wondering about the speed; my Soyo 7VMA-B has the same chipset with the 686B southbridge and with a Startech adapter and an SSD, it also had very good drive speed. To …

To be clear, you only have Pflash17 on the floppy? I just want to be sure you aren't making the same mistake that I made.

I had a similar issue with an OEM S150 TX2 and I was finally able to resolve it by flashing the Promise BIOS: Re: Dell OEM S150 TX2 BIOS

My experience has been that the Sil-3114 works very well when it works at all - in the systems I've tried it in where it didn't work, nothing I could do seemed to make any difference. But in the systems I've tried those PCI SATA cards in where it did work, it had no issues at all and gave me good …

I recently picked up one of those exact cases for free - mine came with a power supply and a Gigabyte Z68 motherboard and an i5 2600. Small world sometimes.

2022 VW Polo Replaced a 2001 model I drove before when engine started glitching to the point that it just shutdown on a motorway and shot my anxiety through the roof, could be restarted at least. I had it at the service before for the symptoms, but they didn't find anything and it dying on the …

Good choice on the case - period correct cases for Socket A tend to have inadequate cooling. My suggestions would be to replace all of the caps of the voltage/capacitance/brand of the ones which are failing. Over the decades the thermal paste on the northbridge chip has likely dried out and is now …

Also, I have a 2011 MacBook Pro where I used the DosDude patch to install Catalina. The process was → new hard drive → internet recovery install → allow it to finish all upgrades → then use the DosDude patch to install Catalina.

I was having some issue like this once and the solution was to do an internet recovery install. Once it had downloaded and installed an OS, I was able to upgrade to the latest version supported.

Last summer I bought a Pentium 3 system for cheap, and I didn't pay attention to the video card that was in it. I pulled it and installed a Quadro 2 for testing and forgot about it. I had a closer look at it yesterday, and it's a 32 megabyte Creative CT6870 TNT2 Ultra. I was assuming it was a …

I wonder if this (probable) BIOS mismatch was the reason why you were having an issue with the AMI flash utility? Or was the issue something else? Sorry I didn't mean to step on your offer. I just want to see the mobo revived lol No, that's fine, I'm just wondering out loud if the reason he had to …

Ups and downs yesterday. Ups: - ASUS P5P800 - works although it likely needs a new BIOS chip as the one it has corrupts itself without me doing anything. Known good RAM was used. - EPoX EP-8KRAI - works, had to replace socket plastics as one side of the tabs were broken. Came with a Sempron 2600, …

If you want you could mail the BIOS chip to me and I could program it for you no charge. I got tired of doing hot swap BIOS flashes and bought a programmer a little over a year ago.

I don't think the Retro Web has that version/BIOS information so one of us should be sure to email them and let them know.
