Award BIOS no longer offers a flash for their
BIOS (they insist you buy a new chip!) and I
would like to flash an old bios.
I have scoured the web and the closest thing
I can find is all written in German and is no
help.

The BIOS info:

10/11/95-sis-496/497/A/B-2A4IBS29C-00

Anyone know where I might get a flash for
this chip?

TIA --
Tpm

You're looking for the wrong thing. The BIOS manufacturer doesn't have the flash files because its the manufactuer of the motherboard that does. Each BIOS is different
Your motherboard is a Soyo 486 PCI/VESA GREEN MAINBOARD 4SA W2/W5 according to www.wimsbios.com

For having HD > 33Go on ATC-6150 witout upgrading BIOS, use OnTrack Data International solution for 33Gb lockup BIOS. Use disk manager 2000 of IBM, It's working perfect.

This weekend, I'd install an IBM 7200tpm/ATA100/40Go on this motherboard, and it's work properly.
