My Home page that houses the CHKCPU CPU Identification utility and The Unofficial K6-2+ / K6-III+ BIOS page gets a new home. 😀
For more than 25 years this “Jan's PC Upgrade problems Page” could be found at http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/ but my internet provider stopped supporting these traditional homepages. So I moved my website to a new domain at http://www.steunebrink.info

For now, when you use the old url, you will be automatically redirected to the new. But in the future only the new url will be valid.

I welcome you all on my new homepage whenever you need specific retro PC upgrade information or a patched socket 7 BIOS with K6-2+/K6-III+ and 128GB HDD support.

Regards, Jan

Thanks for your work.
25 years: you committed to the community! no joke 😀

Indeed, thanks to you I was able to choose a Socket 3 board for an AM5x86 <-- which happened to be included with a Super Socket 7 board purchase <-- which I was able to verify supported the K6-III+ modified K6-2+ before purchase, had a chipset (referring to the Socket 3) capable of supporting L1 write-back cache all at the same time! I don't have any experience with 486's and not much with the K6, so being able to minimize mistakes was a real help.

Thanks a million!

Thank you all for the nice words. 😀

I just noticed that the redirect from the old to the new url doesn't work anymore.
So my website is now only available via the new url:

Cheers, Jan

Occasionally, I’m still working on my K6plus support project and a few days ago I’ve updated my K6plus page and added several patched BIOSes to he list.

I reviewed and re-tested a number of patched socket 7 BIOSes that I worked on in past. These BIOSes are now released and available for download for the following motherboards:

- Asus P55TVP4
- Asus TX97-XV
- Elitegroup P5TX-Bpro
- Iwill XA100
- Shuttle HOT-571
- Tekram P5T30-B4
- Tyan S1592

I also updated some, earlier released, patched BIOSes with additional bugfixes. These new patched versions are for:

- Chaintech 5SIM
- QDI Titanium IB+
- PCChips M577 / Ampron PM9900
- Shuttle HOT-569
- Shuttle HOT-569A

As usual, each patched BIOS comes with a PATCH.TXT file that documents the changes I’ve made.

Cheers, Jan

My K6plus support page has been updated with new or updated patched BIOSes for the following boards:

- DFI 586ITBD
- QDI Titanium IB
- QDI Titanium IIB V2.0
- Superpower SP-A586B
- Tekram P5T30-B4

So a small update this time, but one that marks the completion of a lengthy project to expand the SpeedEasy logic of the jumperless QDI Titanium ‘B’ boards.
Thanks to beta testing by several Vogons members, patched K6plus BIOSes are now released for the QDI Titanium IB, IB+, and IIB V2.0. A patched Titanium IIIB BIOS is also on the way and is presently being beta tested. However, a second beta tester is very welcome so send me a PM if you have a Titanium IIIB and like to join the test team. 😀

A special thanks to scorp (Necroware) for his help with testing the many BIOS beta versions on his Titanium IB. His discovery of which of the 31 possible General Purpose Output lines on the southbridge allowed software control of Vcore values below 2.8V, was crucial in developing a patch with 2.0V-2.5V Vcore setting for the K6-2(+)/III(+).

Cheers, Jan

For todays (16/12/2024) update of my K6plus support page, I’ve added BIOSes for the following boards:

- Soltek SL-56G5/56G1/56G2
- Elitegroup P5SD-A
- Elitegroup P5TX-LA
- QDI Titanium IIIB
- Soyo SY-5XA(5)/5XAE(5)

The SL-56G BIOS is the REV Z4 from Soltek, the other 4 are patched K6plus BIOSes.
I like to thank the Vogons members who have tested these BIOSes on their board.

Cheers, Jan

Great work, Jan - keep it going!

kind regards

Amazing work thankyou Jan! I use the BIOS you did for me regularly - it was a good retro machine before, but you made it great 👍
