.....Så hvad gør jeg?
Du kunne søge på nettet efter en alternativ bios...............nemlig
CheepoBios
De ændringer du kan gøre med den "nye" bios er:
CheepoBios 1.12 beta for K7S5A
Based on ECS 021129 beta
chb1129.rom lan / non-lan Version
chb1129f.rom lan / non-lan Version with fastwrites enabled
Release notes:
- Adjust timing for stability and compatibility ;)
- Onboard lan Auto Detection newly introduced by ECS doesn't seem to work
properly and may prevent non-lan boards from working. I have fixed that by
disabling onboard lan by default. Just enable it if needed ;)
- Fixed Athlon XP1700+ was detected as 1800+
- ECS support sent the 021129 beta bios to a user as a solution to the "lost
cmos" problem. My board doesn't have this problem so you try and tell me!!!!
- FSB modes reprogrammed:
"100/100 MHz" changed from 99.6 to 100.9 MHz
"133/133 MHz" changed from 132.77 to 133.9 MHz
"100/133 MHz" changed from 99.6/132.77 to 100.9/133.9
No more underclocking by default!
- Several FSB modes added. New list of available modes:
100/100 MHz
100/133 MHz
133/133 MHz -> Default modes
H/W Trap (hardware default)
112/112 MHz
124/124 MHz
138/138 MHz (reprogrammed from 137.3 to 138.0)
150/150 MHz
166/166 MHz -> Already present in the "OC" bios
110/110 MHz
133/100 MHz (Now 133.9/100.9)
143/143 MHz
147/147 MHz
110/147 MHz
133/166 MHz
200/200 MHz
Please note that the "166 MHz no-boot issue" hasn't been dealt with
in this bios modification. It seems that bios timings need to be adjusted
to allow
booting at such speed. This issue could also affect the 200/200 settings.
- Extra memory settings:
- RAS Precharge Time=2T
- RAS Active Time=4T, 5T
- Full screen logo can be enabled/disabled via bios menu
- A few hidden bios options have been enabled with amibcp. Please notice
that none of these settings have been fixed or reprogrammed at all.
- PCI Latency Timer
- PCI slot #1 to #4 IRQ priority
- IO APIC
Note: there is no need to enable PCI IDE Busmaster anymore, it was already
present as an available option in the ecs bios
The default values for these settings, as well as all other settings except
onboard lan, remain the same as in the original bios.
I wish to thank Jinxter, tw.p, Bench400 and Beheerder: deblokker mij, fellow
bios modders
