Hi all,
I got a AH6 v1.02 that is missing its BIOS EPROM.
I thought it would be easy to find an image of its original BIOS and the EPROM type needed but I only found this one :
https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-Abit-AH6-KQ-128GB
All other links are dead or unavailable.
This image seems legit but I don't know what eprom chip I should write it to..
Anybody has this motherboard or an idea of what chip is needed?
It should be either a 27C010 or maybe a 27C100o since those are 128kB (same size as the .bin) but I don't want to risk it..
Thanks!

Update: Tried W27c010 and W27C020 and it didn't work.
I also tried the AH6_KQ version of the BIOS (no 128GB support) and it also didn't work..
Just I'll wait for someone with the same board to see this...!

I don't know really..
I have a post card that displays "-- -- " so no codes or anything.
Nothing gets hot either.
RAM and CPU are known good.
The board is in good condition overall so no damaged traces or anything.
Since the EPROM was missing I started with that..
