All, I have been terribly pleased with openbsd 3.2 I was using it as a mail/samba server with postifx on a pentium pro 200 with 1 gig of memory. Well I wanted to add a larger harddrive than what I have in it now only 6.4 gig. Well the machine would not see it and for some reason after hours and hours of trying I can't get a tekram 395UW and a 18gig scsi to be the boot drive and having failed I was stuck with IDE. I finally got tired of it being this way and decided to flash the motherboard which is a Micronics Invader ATX m8s-fin motherboard. Well dumb me I flashed it with the wrong bios. And I can't find the original bios on the net anywhere do any of you all have this motherboard and can send me the bios for it or possibly know where I can find it. Any of your help would be greatly appreciated. And before I flashed it, it did not ask me to backup the prior bios. I would just hate to trash this setup. The machine still works but with this current bios only the first pci slot works which means I can't use a nic card or anything in it. Thank you Elijah http://www.digitalrage.org/ For your technical news and HowTo's Stop by and vote in the latest poll about Mr. Spam King.
I meant to include Off topic in the subject line. There is not list for something like this that I know of and I have been a user of this mailing list for about 2 years and figured one of you out there might have this motherboard and be able to send me the bios for it. -----Original Message----- From: Gabriel D.

Yes Phoenix 4.0 ver 6 is the correct one. At this point I do not care which one I got to I just want to get the machine back up and working. -----Original Message----- From: Brian [mailto:suseuser@rurnt.com] Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 12:46 PM To: Elijah Savage III Cc: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] Moterboard help Please http://www.unicore.com 1-800-800-BIOS They might be able to help you. Do you know what BIOS it used initially? Was it Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Ver. 6.0? It might also be worthwhile then to call Phoenix tech support. ( http://www.phoenix.com ) Also, where did you find the wrong BIOS? Can't you go back there, find a new BIOS that will work and flash it to that? That is, why go back to the original (which we can't find) when you know it won't support the larger hard drives? The quest should be for a new BIOS that will be compatible, no?

Well I have a gig of memory in this motherboard one of the reasons I wanted to try and get it back working. All newer motherboards do not support this type of memory already looked into it. -----Original Message----- From: Michael G. Noble [mailto:mnoble@rfmagic.com] Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 12:55 PM To: Elijah Savage III Cc: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] Moterboard help Please With the time spent trying to find a bios, I would go out and spend $80.00 for a new motherboard. You then have a motherboard that is newer and will support what you need.
