about a year ago, I was at my local computer recycling place, helping dismantle computers (they give you HUGE discounts if you help disassemble computers. i'm talking 75-95% off normal prices) And I opened a rackmount case t find a dual asus pentium pro motherboard. (p/i-p65up5)
long story short I got 2 1m processors and some 32mb edo simms cheap on ebay and when I put them in the board it diddnt like the 1mb cache chips. Well lets upgrade the bios I said! and after the flashing process I found that I had selected the wrong bios from asus and completely bricked it.
the board still posts.... kinda. the video card will display its bios post then it will sit there like a rock. What I want to know is, given the caliber of people here SOMEONE has to have access to a eprom flasher. Its a real common chip:
intel FLASH
p28f001
bxt150
u7j028j2
If there was some way I can send you my chip and you can flash it with the correct bios I supply then that would make me ever so happy. I'd be willing to pay for all shipping costs + whatever you thought was fair.
pictures of the board(s):
So basically its been sitting on my shelf for about a year. In my attemopts to find a replacement board I found out about the p/i-p65up8 which is the same board but on steroids as it has scsi onboard and is a full AT size motherboard. But I can't even find a PICTURE of that board, let alone someone who wants to sell me one...
