Hey, I did everything I was supposed to do in order to flash my BIOS. It started to flash, and then just quit. Deader than a doornail. I had a UPS, a clean floppy with the flash utility from SOYO and the new instruction set.
My motherboard is a SOYO SY-6BA+IV-2AA2 and the BIOS is an AWARD Modular BIOS v4.51PG with an AWARD PnP BIOS extension v1.0A.
SOYO isn't any help and AWARD just wants a lot of money. What can I do? Can I re-burn the EEPROM, or does anyone have a (cheap) replacement?
ps-In case you were wondering why I needed to flash the BIOS, AWARD in its infinite wisdom, put a 32GB cylinder limit on any associated hard drive. I had already bought a Maxtor 80GB drive before I found this out. Maxtor knew about this and wrote a work-around, but, wouldn't you know it--it works for every other BIOS except the AWARD v4.51PG!!
