BIOS Patcher: unleashing the potential of an old mainboard.

Can I use this to unlock cpu overclocking in hp compaq dc 7800 sff? Just please don’t try to explain why it’s more convenient to upgrade the hardware, because I know it is. I just wanna know if I could, not if I should.

Hi. Is it possible to flash the BIOS with DOS software tools? Without flash writer tool? Thanks

Hello! I have problem with the CBROM software. Any time I execute it with a Award bios file, it shows the first line "CBROM195.exe V1.95 [12/14/07] Phoenix Technologies 2001-2007" and stucks with one CPU core at 100%. Why is that, why the program does not report error? Did you have same experiences? I tried differen CBROM versions and also different OS, but always the same problem.

Can this add support for Memory-Interleave with VIA Apollo Pro Chipset. That way I don't have to use a driver that take 5000hrs to boot up my pc on windows 98 ?? :)

I have an older pentium 1 motherboard with socket 5. Iam guessing it wont support UDMA or bigger hdd till 3.2GB.. Now i see you can give the board UDMA +137GB support.

But i dont need the support till 137GB HDD.. Is it still possible to put a manual value in so i got support till 32GB HDDs.. Or is the baundry always UDMA + 137GB and not possible to change that.

How are you with Other types like PAL and GAL chip..??..

Is rom-by offline? I could browse to it literally earlier this week and now I can't, have tried it from both my home and work for the last couple of days ... is the UK being blocked 🤔

hi

Another great video

I've got an old HP 8260 (Asus KL97-XV) that won't POST any Celeron in a slotket, but it's a Phoenix BIOS, trying to figure out how to add CPU support for it, any suggestions?

This is a fascinating tool. I have wanted to get a chip writer like what you show in the video. Sadly I have 0 experience or knowledge in regards to these things. I see tons of suggestions online but it seems that opinions vary. Can I ask which one you use, and just confirm the OS that you use it on? I really appreciate the videos. They are excellent. I am trying to learn so that I can maintain and fix a lot of the old computers that have ended up with me over the years. I didn't want to recycle the old ones in hopes they could be fixed.

Will this work with a Socket 7 Compaq Presario laptop?

I wonder if this can allow a newer motherboard, like a pentium 2 or 3 to be declocked and settings adjusted to make it close to a XT class system? this is been something I have wanted to try for a long long time back when pentium 2 and 3 systems were nothing more than ewaste. Now that they are collectable it may not be as smart of a idea as it once was, but still a neat thing to possibly run software that is cpu cycle dependent

This video is very sexy.

This is amazing

BP doesn't run in Win11 amd64, CBROM doesn't run in DOS6.22 x86. Time to dig out my Win98 machine. Will try to further improve my FIC PT-2006 beta BIOS.

Lol so awesome, now in the 2020's we can finally get our 1990's pentiums working properly 🤣 better late than never guys! 😂😂

Love the video. Could you please let me where do you buy those IC chips for the Bios Rom chips and where or what site did you buy the Eprom Flasher at. I would like to get one for a Socket 7 Socket Ampatron/PC Chips board I have for a Cyrix M II CPU I have and for the MMX voltage adapter what voltage upgrade chips should be used on the voltage adapter for the Cyrix M II 300 so it does not over heat since I don't want to use a Intel CPU. Thanks for reading. Have a good one.

Wow, a great tool

Can it add dual floppy drive support for newer bioses that only have support for 1 internal floppy drive?

The article you mention about adding plop bootloader to an old laptop really got me going. I saw it a couple of months ago, and recently I got another idea. You know those ISA cards with one EPROM chip, where you can put something like XTIDE bios, right? Well, turns out, in its 5V mode PCMCIA slot works exactly like ISA slots, just in a more compact package. So my idea now is to make an ISA ROM card, but in PCMCIA format, and then my retro Toshiba Sattelite 315CDT will boot from its only USB1.1 port. How cool would that be?
