Oh, let him try to sell it here, too. This stuff has little value any
more,
except for collectors, hobbyists, and people who simply want to keep an
old
system running... Ben Myers

Just saying for other pentium motherboards is not the key
The bios says Packard Bell, NEC, Dell "VX" with Virge S3 Trio 64+

Saying some other motherboards with on board video is not concise enough
I would hate to see a bios screw up since there are probably quite a few
pentium motherboards
with the S3 tri ,I suppose.


My main point actually was
Sell on Ebay not on this Newsgroup

IIRC, all of the "boards" mentioned are one and the same, made by Intel
variously for PB, NEC, and Dell. The key here is the original Intel
BIOS
identifier. Microid, like all the other 3rd party BIOS manufacturers
now
deceased, developed one BIOS per model of motherboard.

To make a blanket statement that the BIOS can be used in other
motherboards
without sufficient qualification could set up the potential naive BIOS
flasher
for a disaster... Ben Myers

MR BIOS Version 3.46
Part Number V09AB5NV

V09AB5NV.BIO is compatible with the following motherboards:

Packard Bell, NEC, Dell "VX" with Virge S3 Trio 64+ On-Board Video

I didn't remember which ones at the time of my original post, but I did
remember seeing it was compatible with other mb's, fwiw. I know people
have
asked about it in the past.

news I do not know how you can make the statement that the MR BIOS upgrade
is
applicable to
some other pentium systems.
If was my understanding that this upgrade was only for the system
listed.

Unless you have an upgrade that only writes to the memory address
where
the particular
upgrade information is needed and that it is the same on each 2mb chip
than you are looking
for some complaints assuming there is such an upgrade .

Now the upgrade may work on some NEC systems that use the 680 MB

In any case
Ebay is the place to sell these items

Have a K63 350 & a K63 450 cpu. Both were used in PowerLeap adapters
for
separate PB systems. Also have MrBios bios upgrade for PB 680-685
series
motherboards. The bios upgrade is applicable to some other Pentium
motherboards with onboard video as well, and necessary to run these
chips. Also have 2 PL K63 adapters. All will be going up on ebay
unless
someone is interested prior. K63 450 has been run underclocked at
400
&
350 has been run at 366. Both have been rock solid stable since
purchased new. Also parting out 2 Pentium PB's. Have desktop case &
"pizza box" case. Good power supplies (145w & 235w), motherboards and
256m of ram. (8 32m chips) 56k v90 modem/soundcard and hd w/98
already
loaded too. Restore disks, PCI video cards VooDoo3 2000 16m &
