Hi! First post here.

Due to a mistake I accidentally corrupted the original ROM for my motherboard, model PAT48PG rev 0.30. I have been trying to flash it with versions I have found but only with none or partial success. The socket supports dip 28 and the ROMs i have available are 64 KB ones, 27C512.

I have tried these below, no success.

With these the motherboard can not post at all, my post card does not alter between codes here at all. I think there are actually for the rev 2 of this motherboard, but I can not verify that.

With the AMI version from here I have partial success but not enough to boot into a working system. It complains about the keyboard controller and I can enter the bios but the keyboard works only partially. It is also slow to get to the bios boot screen.

Does anyone have other versions that I can test? Or other solutions? I have the option to erase and program myself, but if there are any recommended settings to use in this situation im happy to test. I have a TL866II plus.

On Retroweb there are two boards which are much slimier, one is version 0.30 and the other one is 2.0/1.0C. So have you tried the other one?

Thanks for the tip, however those seems to be the exact same files. Im guessing now but they might have the 2.0 revision files uploaded for both pages. Or mine is different somehow.

I do own the board in question. I´m unsure about its revision. I upgraded the board with a MrBIOS and it works well. I can dump the original bios if needed.
