Does anyone here have a bios for the 486 pci board Acer AP43 ?
Can this even be flashed and how? I have experience with flashing bios files but never did this on computers this old and i don't want to screw things up....it is my only 486 pci board (searched a long time for it).
I want to flash it because mine does not support the x4 setting correctly for my AMD 5x86. It runs now at 3x50 but the timings become really slow and i would really like to try 4x40mhz.
It has a graphical ami bios.
Some people here have this board running fine with this cpu but my bios date is before the 5x86 even came out so assume that is the problem. When i set it up for this cpu it runs very VERY slow and the bios says ''unknown cpu'',and my Hdd will no longer work.... When i set it up like a dx2 cpu it runs at a 3x multi and ignores the 4x somehow.
My bios is from august 95, the AMD 5x86 was introduced in december 95 so i need a bios from december 95 or later 🤣
Thanx!
