Ordenador AMD Athlon 550 Mhz 192 MB de RAM, ampliado hace dos semanas con un HD adicional de 80 MB cuaya capacidad ha sido reconocida completamente por la BIOS (no debe ser malota) La placa madre es una MCI modelo MS-6191, cuya BIOS más actualizada creo recordar que es de Noviembre del 2001, pero hay un problema, y es que la BIOS instalada actualmente, la original es una BIOS Award, y la actualizada, para la misma placa es una AMI BIOS(alucino con los taiwaneses. Creo que el fabricante es de taiwan), y claro hay unas instrucciones en inglés que no comprendo demasiado bien, porque tengo entendido que mi placa madre tiene una BIOS de un tipo distinto a la flash.
Un lio de mil demonios, además he estado mirando el manual de la placa, y no dice si la BIOS está en una memoria flash o EPROM. Vamos una gaita.
Me direis que para que cojones quiero actualizarla. El ordenata me va bien, y me han regalado periféricos nuevos quickcam y ratón que dan conflictos a nivel de S.O. que he solucionado poniendo drivers estándar, pero es que la quickcam, al ir a un puerto USB me han comentado que puede dar problemas con placas antiguas, y que una solucíón podría ser actualizar ¿Es esto cierto o una majadería?
Pido disculpas por haber sido anteriormente tan escueto.
Por cierto si sabeis que quiere decir esto:
"""" !!!!! IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE PROGRAMMING !!!!!
Note1: This BIOS is a Plug 'n Play BIOS, and has to be used with SST or Winbond
Flash Memory. If this BIOS is programmed in EPROM or other brands of
Flash Memory (not SST nor Winbond), there will be a problem with Windows
95 RESTART function.
Note2: If your on-board BIOS is AMI BIOS and you want to program the Award BIOS
file into the on-board BIOS, you must use the "AMI" flash utility
(i.e.: AMIFL530.COM, AMIFL620.COM).
Note3: If your on-board BIOS is Award BIOS and you want to program the AMI BIOS
file into the on-board BIOS, you must use the "AWARD" flash utility
(i.e.: AWDFL52B.EXE, AWDFL534.EXE ).
How to use the AMI FLASH Utility
-----------------------------------
This utility is used to program a new BIOS into a Flash memory. You have to
make sure first that the BIOS installed in your mainboard is Flash memory,
and not EPROM.
1. Turn on your computer.
2. Boot up clean, bypassing your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
3. Then, run the AMI FLASH UTILITY file.
DRIVE:\>AMI_FLASH UTILITY_FILE BIOS_FILE
EX: C:\>AMIFL530 A37A.ROM
The programming screen will be shown. At the bottom of the screen, the
following message will appear:
Press "Y" to Continue, "N" to Reboot
Press "N" if you do not want to continue programming the new BIOS.
Press "Y" if you want to continue programming the new BIOS. The new BIOS
will then be programmed. When it has finished programming, the following
message will appear:
Flash EPROM Program Successful. Press Any Key to Reboot.
You have successfully programmed the new BIOS.

File name to program:
EX: WF73.BIN
At the bottom of the screen, the following message will appear:
Do you want to save BIOS (Y/N)?
Press "N" if you do not want to save the old BIOS.
Press "Y" if you want to save the old BIOS. Enter file name to save.
File name to save: __________
After saving the old BIOS, the following message will appear at the
bottom of the screen:
Are you sure to program (Y/N)?
Press "N" if you do not want to program the new BIOS.
Press "Y" if you want to continue programming the new BIOS. The new BIOS
will then be programmed. When it has finished programming, the following
message will appear:
Flash EPROM Program Successful.
You have successfully programmed the new BIOS""""
