Where can I purchase a replacement BIOS chip? Placed in a socket on the main board is a 2x16 pin DIL labeled: 686 AMI BIOS 1995 CS 92222.
Please remove the shiny sticker and check how the actual package is marked. You're looking for thin letters and numbers "engraved" on top of the black plastic. Look for 29F020 or something similar.
I found the BIOS chip brand and version: Its a Winbond W290C020-90 (84400M282325601VA). Any suppliers available somehere? Is it large enough to host LinuxBIOS?
My dual-CPU MSI-6120 MOBO has on-board dual channel Adaptec 7895 SCSI support. Does V1 support this? What about the FSB settings avalaible in the MSI/AMI BIOS v2.0: 100MHz, 103MHz, 112MHz, 133MHz? It would be nice to run the board at 133MHz, eqipped with an 1.4GHz Tualatin Celeron 2 or dual PIIIs. (Or VIA C3 1.0-1.4GHz, currently single CPU, and hopefully soon dual CPU)
