Oh, please do. We don't have this version currently, it's a pretty common chipset and it's a pretty recent version.

Unfortunately I don't have a programmer, what is the next safest way to dump it in DOS?

This should work--

DEBUG.EXE
N MRBIOS.BIN
R BX
1
R CX
0
W F000:0
Q

should look like this when you run it:

DEBUG.EXE
-N MRBIOS.BIN
-R BX
BX 0000 :1
-R CX
CX 0000 :0
-W F000:0
Writing 10000 bytes
Q

fyi: 10000 bytes = 64KB

Thanks!

Here it goes, I made 2 copies one using your DEBUG instructions and one with the NSSI software mentioned on the first page of this thread.

Hopefully it works.

Ps.: Amazing that this old 486 VLB board with this BIOS booted DOS from my 32GB SD card.
