Hi,
There is an easy way (assuming you have a good BIOS chip)...
1/ Place the good BIOS in the M/B (preferably in a ZIF socket) 2/ Boot machine to DOS prompt. 3/ Hot Swap BIOS chips. (Some motherboards need to have the 'copy BIOS to Shadow RAM' flag set at this point - you'll soon work it out ;-}) 4/ Put good BIOS away safely for future reference. 5/ Use BIOS utility tool from Award or AMI to 'blow' a good BIOS. 6/ Reboot.
;-)
Yours
Mat

Anybody know of a cheap nvram for the PCI bus so we can continue testing while we figure this out?
Well, I just killed the BIOS on my old Intel i430FX
Does anybody know a good source of replacement BIOS chips? I have a feeling I might need a few, and maybe an EEPROM burner too.
