Sorry if this isn't formatted correctly. I chose to receive the batched digest... Thanks for the reply.
| You should prepare a backup of your original BIOS anyway, | IMHO. You could get another BIOS chip (they cost ca. 5 bucks or so) | and flash your original BIOS on that, then test it.
| You can then use our flashrom tool to flash any images you like...
Yes, this sounds like a perfectly logical way to start. I'll see about getting some chips after I peel that label...
My machines motherboard has the following:
board: MSI-K7N2GM-L, Athlon XP, NVidia chipset
|Which chipset exactly?
nVidia NForce2 400 and MCP2. I believe there is a working NForce4 I saw on the `supported' list?
|The mainboard per se is not yet supported, but some parts of your |hardware are.
- Pheonix Bios D686(?) Bios 18195747
|This is not relevant. You need to peel off the sticker |from the BIOS. Then you'll see some ID numbers which identify |the chip itself.
Silly me. The machine was running while I was checking and didn't even think about the actual chip number -vs- Pheonix's burn number. Dooh!
- Nvidia NForce2 MCP F85055-R4 0348A4
|Ugh, sorry, I can't say anything about this. I hate these marketing |names for chipsets, I never know which "real" names of the chips they |refer to... Is there some official/complete list somewhere?
|As for NVIDIA, we currently support MCP55 and Ck804.
I'll do some more research and see what I can figure out. I've never gotten up on the PC chipsets before, so I guess now is as good a time as any.
I'm getting ready to build a new machine, so it certainly won't hurt to do some reading. Any good on-line resources?
- WinBond W83627HF-AW
|Yep, that's supported. This means you could get out serial (debugging) |output from the board.
Good, I was hoping at least one or two would be. Is it terribly difficult to do a BIOS from scratch? It looks like I've got a lot of work to do. ;)
|Uwe.
