Ordered the WD chip on eBay already. Is there a program that can verify video memory? I just want to ensure that the ram is okay before I replace the GPU chip

The board developed the broken image symptoms Any idea what it could be? It works fine with external VGA card. I already replaced the Video DRAM chips but it did not help

Yep it has like three pages with jumpers description only. It seem to work with 545 (520) MB hdd, does this mean it will work with 2GB CF card?

Intel 386. It does not have turbo button so I wonder if there is a key combination to switch between slow and fast Maybe some other information, like maximum HDD/RAM support etc.

thanks, here is the photo https://photos.app.goo.gl/MBvDcqcievE7GbcbA I beleive it is PB800/900 revision D because it has extra memory sockets. I wonder if I should update to 2MB RAM, is there any practical use for that on a 286?

I have this Packard bell PB800 286-12 computer with Phoenix 3.10.12 BIOS currently installed. Google knows about some Atlanta 5.0 bios but not sure if this is the same board http://www.kva.kursk.ru/bios1/HTML1/packard.html other page is also confusing, telling that lower build bios is the latest: …

Nope, I wont install directly on a gateway board. Need to first flash v9, which I was not able to locate.

What's the correct jumper setting for 100Mhz cpu? I will try it in my board.

This is interesting. The PBA number on this Plato board is 541277. According to the manual, it will only work with the 75 and 90MHz Pentiums. But when I put in a P100 and set the jumper for 100MHz, it goes into BIOS, shows the correct speed there, and boots from the floppy just fine. IMO, that fact …

Looks like a workaround: http://files.mpoli.fi/unpacked/hardware/rom/intel/platord.exe/readme.txt What is the driving purpose behind updating the bios? Do you have release notes for the newer intel version? It won’t change the HDD support. What are you after? I thought it's just a good practice to …

Can I flash it over gateway bios? Should work, yes. The Intel and Gateway boards only differ in their BIOS. The flasher will stop when it detects any incompatibilities anyway, so there's not much that can go wrong. Just let it make a backup of the current BIOS when it asks for it in case you need …

I've also attached the last BIOS released for the board. Can I flash it over gateway bios? 1.00.12.AX1T I also have an image of the original disk for the gateway system, if anyone's interested. My system is from 1995, with 75mhz cpu and vibra16 card Installed a socketed Dallas chip today: bought …

Well, I've uploaded it for anyone interested. I'm not sure how long I'll leave it up, but feel free to download it while it's available. It did only take last night through to this afternoon to upload it (albeit with nothing else using the connection because it probably would have timed out and …
