Wow!
That flashrom thing had gone under my radar. I see that my motherboard is
OK (MSI MS-7255 - P4M890M, including southbridge VIA VT8237A) but can't
find the BIOS chip as supported hardware.
Very interesting, thank you very much. However, as dealing with flashrom
would be off-topic here, I'm em
If you need a reliable flashing environment right now, you can use any
bootable USB Linux with a flashrom opensource flashing tool - which
could be installed as easily as a simple "sudo apt-get install
flashrom" command (for Linux Mint). And then, if your board supports
the internal flashing mode (
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I understood. I will explore that way.
That "drivers could interfere with the flashing process" is new to me. Of
course in the past -when floppies were still a common thing- I have always
upgraded my BIOSes via win98 boot floppy. I already installed FreeDOS 1.3
RC4 on a
Hi! I think for BIOS flashing, a good way would be to start
with a minimal boot floppy image, you can find that online
for FreeDOS. Or use one with more apps on it and remove
some of them to make space. Then, you mount or open the
image with a free tool (depends on the OS, in Linux you
can use m
Hello Bernd,
Thank you so much for all your help with this. I need to practice the
steps you list here, and I will start experimenting over the next few
weeks. I really appreciate your taking the time to help me. I will try
your method very soon on another device that could be flashed -- it is
Well, what I want is to make a bootable SD-card with that same image...
It is a standard isolinux image.
Has anyone made that?
Thanks,

That's a *very* interesting link, thanks!.
Bedtime now though.
I wish DISKCOPY was able to handle different floppy image sizes
(360KB.IMG to 1.44MB floppy for example, or backup a (SHSURDRV?)
harddisk image uncompressed). Ki

Does this work for any size floppy image or only 1.44MB?
In principle BIOS

Hi. Others have created a BIOS-flashing FreeDOS floppy, so I know it can be
done. Might be easiest to create a bootable USB flash fob drive, and boot from
that with your BIOS flashing software. Be aware that USB drives often get
recognized on DOS as the c: drive, through legacy mapping.

I usually use either one of Rugxulo's images at
http://sites.google.com/site/rugxulo/ (three different 1440KB floppies are
available, as well as a 2880MB version) or the Balder image (
http://www.finnix.org/Balder). I'd suggest starting with one of those, then
adding (or removing) whatever you like
