Folks,
I successfully installed a BIOS Savior RD1-PMC4 on my Tyan Tiger MPX (S2466N-4M) today. It works just fine, but I cannot identify the Flash chip on it (0x9d/0x6e) -- if anyone knows how to track this down, I'd love to know. In the meantime I forced it to work with Steven James's flash_tool program. The flash chip that Tyan shipped with the board is a SST49LF040.
I presume the RD1-PMC2 would work on the older Tiger MP board.
I can't say whether Tyan's DOS-based flash utility works with this beast or not. I can't get it to run at all on my machine -- it complains that himem.sys is loaded, even on a boot disk that doesn't contain himem.sys! I tried a handful of other flash utilities but none of them would ID the BIOS Savior chip for me.
Regards,
Jeff
