I have the bios for an Asus VL/i-486SV2GX4 Rev 2.0 motherboard the problem is all the sites I went to only have the bios file as a .BIN type and no extra bios flashing utilities, how do I flash it from dos?
You can't. That motherboard uses a UV-erasable EPROM chip, so you'll need a programmer like the TL866 (and a new chip like the W27C512 if you don't want to erase the old one).
I found a Willem PCB50B EPROM programmer it's not USB it's parallel which is good by me but would this programmer be compatible with a W27C512 EPROM, I've never used a programmer before.
Sorry to ask can I get a quick reply as the buyer is waiting for my reply
It might. from website : Supports Win9X, Me, XP, NT, 2000 and VISTA operating systems. So not for Win7 or higher, also: USB Cable (for power supply) so requires external power....
Might want to read the supported EPROM/EEPROM list: https://www.sivava.com/index.php?route=produc … &product_id=181

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
