Hi,
Here's my mobo specs:
GENOA TruboExpress 486VLG - X2 ( Ver. D )
Award Modular BIOS v4.50g
11/04/94-SIS-85C471B/E/G-2C4I9F20-01
I'm running DOS 6.22.
For reference, my board is very similar to this one( visually the same ):
Socket 3 486 VLB Freetech mobo, quick test
And this one:
Need BIOS image for MD-4DUVC socket 3 mobo
I can post pics if needed?
I'm getting from what I can gather is a Y2K bug -- so my clock always switches to 2094 -- and my SD-card drive is being flaky. It works great initially, but sometimes after the system has been turned off or I've done some tinkering, the SD card is no longer bootable and can no longer be detected in the BIOS; but it's still accessible from a bootable-floppy; and at the moment, I can not get my BIOS to see my SD card at all.
** UPDATE ** I unplugged my VLB I/O card and plugged it back in, and now my SD card is detectable again, it's just not bootable.
So I'm hoping there's a newer compatible BIOS available that will address the above issues?
I found this update( awdflash 8.991 ) that says it's for DOS:

But I'm not sure it's OK to use with my motherboard, because it's much newer than the updates I found on this page?
