Thanks for the Pointer. I found the these files at that site:
fwupdate.exe
lx164_v5_1.exe
lx164_v5_1.sys
I copied the fwupdate.exe to a dos disk, and ran the bios update from the
setup screen.
It asked for a "Options" disk, but I nothing I put in there seemed to make
any difference.
I typed 'list' and this is what comes up now:
Current Version Filename Update Version
fsb 3.1 fsb_fw 3.1
fw 5.60 nt_fw Missing File
It appears that in my struggles I was able to get the 'fsb' updated to
version 3.1. but the fw still eludes me.
any help and explainations would be appreciated.
Sorry to be such an Alpha newbie.
