early or first FIC 486-VIP-IO ?? (early or PVT bios) ?? It has some clues that make think it is one of them but am probably wrong...

Great ! did not have that one.
Also you should point to https://www.ultimateretro.net/en/motherboards/2040 and not https://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboards/2040.
They moved all data and website has been upgraded 😀

Hi pan069,

Unfortunatily the AWARD-4.50PG.zip for the Edom MP046 you put at #110, doesn't contain a valid BIOS.
It should be an 128KB compressed BIOS, but I see only the upper 64KB decompressed part of the main BIOS module, as stored in Shadow RAM. 😉
Can you make a full BIOS dump directly from the BIOS chip with an EPROM programmer? That would be great!

Happy New Year,
Jan

Uniflash may work as well.

Ah, damn. sorry 'bout that. Let me see what I can do. Have to get the board back out of storage...

Ah, thanks! I searched for it but couldn't find. Better to have doubles than missings I guess. 😀

You probably want Uniflash 1.40 or earlier if you have not found it yet. Those be the DOS versions you can run off a floppy.
You can Google search it or DL the 65Mb Borg bios util package that has lots bios tools including Uniflash DOS 1.40 I upped to archive... https://archive.org/details/bnobtcv5

Hi all

I am looking for the bios for a Soyo 030f2, I have dumped the one in my board and the lower half is all FF which seems wrong to me 😀

Thanks

We have been looking for a freeway FW-5VGF+ Ultra bios (latest) if you have any leads?

Hi BlackFX,

Here is a copy of the Soyo 030F2 REV. C2 BIOS.

I used this Soyo board myself when building my first 486 PC in 1995 and I used it until 2000. First I had an Am486 DX4-100 on it, but in 1997 I upgraded to an Am5x86-133 CPU.
But for the Am5x86 to run correctly, an updated BIOS is required.

I used this latest REV. C2 (11/24/94) BIOS to make a patched version for Am5x86-133 support.
I still have this patched 30F2 Rev C2 BIOS and it can be downloaded at:
http://www.steunebrink.info/bios/30f2-j2.zip
In the zip, you will find the BIOS image and a Changes.txt file that documents my patchwork in detail. 😉

This patched BIOS includes full Am5x86-133 support with L1 cache WB selection and x3/x4 mode support.
I've also fixed the 2 GB Harddisk Display limit bug, and the year 2094 bug in this patch J.2 BIOS.

Apart from these changes, I have enabled a lot of hidden BIOS features as well so that the chipset can be tweaked in more detail, depending on your configuration.
However, my experience was that when I selected LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS in the main BIOS menu, most BIOS options, especially the new ones, where already at their optimum value. 😉

I've sold this board in 2001, including the manual, but I've kept scans of some manual pages, the first 16 pages to be exact.
You can download the zipped 30F2 manual scans from:
http://www.steunebrink.info/Sy-30DEF.zip
You will notice that I scanned the 6 jumper settings pages in high resolution to improve readability. 😉

As the Am5x86-133 jumper settings are not in the manual, I used the Intel 486DX4-100 settings at page 13 with the following changes:

JP7: 2-3 (STPCLK# signal)
JP8: 2-3 (This pulls the CLKMUL pin low for 4x mode)
JP10: 1-2 (This pulls the WB/WT# pin high for L1 cache Write Back mode)
JP11: 1-2 (HITM# signal - for L1 cache WB mode)

Note also the correct JP21 settings for 5V or 3.3V CPUs!

With these settings and the patched C.2 BIOS, an Am5x86-133 should run correctly in 4 x 33 and L1 cache WB modes.
Note that the patched BIOS will indicate a DX4-S CPU, but this is just cosmetic. 😉

Edit: updated website links.

Hello all. I have a request. I own a socket 5 Intel Advanced/EV Endeavour motherboard, early revision. It is a OEM Highscreen/Vobis edition, and has currently bios version 2 installed. I found version 6, but I can't flash it because it's not the H version. Does someone have a modified version 6 bios I can flash? 😀 It currently has 1.00.02.CB0H, but i'd like to flash it to 1.00.06.CB0. The reason i want to update is that the newer bios has support for bigger hdd. It's limited to only 2.1GB now, but my harddisk is 4.3GB.
thanks in advance for your response, Regards, Arno (Netherlands)

already tried this: https://www.wimsbios.com/faq/howtoflashintela … sonoemboard.jsp
But didn't succeed..

Looking for ALARIS Tornado 2 Motherboard manual.
It looks like this:

Hi, do you still need the bios?

This bios was found. We are open to modding the new bios for more settings though. Especially more memory settings would be welcome

Yes I do, would be super nice if you could help me.

Ok. Give me a few days.. l have to pull the chip and dig out my reader and cross my fingers

And to confirm c386mx bios?

Writing to confirm if you need the c386mx bios still.

Hi, does anyone have the rev 2.4 isa 486sv2 bios? I've tried later versions with no luck. Seems I need that version. I've attached an image of the bios string
