Could be a wrong version or maybe a worn bios rom chip.
No I don't unfortunately. Would a worn bios ROM chip slow down the system?

In my experience it either hangs at Checking NVRAM, or it doesn't.
Get yourself a programmer if you can spare the money, it's a good investment when you often tinker with old stuff. And you can rule out a potentially faulty BIOS chip.

Yeah just like my problem with the 7IXE. No updates on that so far.
