Recently i purchased an Asus PCI/I-p54sp4 Rev1.5 motherboard.
It came with an older bios version. Now i really like to update the bios. Normally i know how it works. It can be done with set 2 jumpers on the motherboard + floppy drive + boot disk + flash utility.
Now i dont know anymore which flash utillity and version was used back in the day.. Iam trying to do it the easy way to reprogram the flash cmos ic with my USB Mini pro programmer instead of the basic way..
Now i ran in some problems.
1. I removed the sticker on the cmos IC and it also slightly damaged the silkscreen on the chip.. Now its harder to identify what type chip it is. I could so some asumption and making an guess.
Whats written on the chip.. Its one of those annoying Intel `FLASH` cmos chips.. All i can read is the following: P28_0_0 -15 (150ns). I would guess it could be an P28F010 (but iam not sure) (could be something different as well)
2. And i have a problem that i cant find the right CMOS configuration in my MINI PRO PROGRAMMER V 6.85 software.. If have tried a lot of different configurations, but some can read out with a very long delay and ends all on FF FF FF same as blank. Some iam guessing maybe its better to purchase an other branded cmos chip which my mini pro programmer can work with.. Does somebody knows an 12v cmos ic which is pin compatible..
~ At least it can do black and white~
