Yes the sst49lf040B came from the 650i and once i got a good boot out of the chip from the A7V8X i was able to hot flash using dr-dos and the factory program. That is only a working solution if your board boots. Tried enabling with factory chip then swapping to flash it still gave the same error. I am more surprised to see that the 650I booted from the sst49lf040, just for grins i ran the flash program on the 040 to see what it detected it as... a sst49lf080A?<BR>Oh yeah I found an old file I had lying around it it is supposed to be the full 2 meg award vanilla bios. I thought you guys may be interested in it contains alot of files but requires assembling etc before flashable. I haven't been able to do anything with it yet I got it when I was looking to make this 650I run a 45nm cpu... I don't think I can :) Anywayz it is up for grabs.<BR>
