My OS/2 box constantly locks up under heavy disk usage, and seeing it have 170Gb in it, I'd like to be able to get more use out of it (and even more importantly be able to back it up!). I can not flash this rom (although it is flashable), as it failed the first time that I did it, and I think that the incorrect ROM has been put in it's place, so I'd like to be able to burn a real one (512Mb ROM) to see if it is indeed a BIOS issue. -Chris WarpSpeed Computers - The Graham Utilities for OS/2.

If you get stuck in Melbourne, let me know. I'll need the specs on the PROM you want to use. I can source a 2nd-hand chip here, program it, & post it down for the cost of a thankyou. Perhaps Ian Manners can help you. How did the flash fail? Most mobos have a jumper for disabling the flash function. This is done as a simple antivirus feature.
