NEW Unofficial M680x Series BIOS Update

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Hi All,

I don't know if this is posted anywhere, if it is, feel free to slice this away or merge it into another thread.

It turns out that the Gateway 7405GX Bios number 52.00.01 will work on the M6805 and the M6809 and possible a few others. Check the AMD Processor Forums for more on other models.

I am running the BIOS right now, although, it took away my big E on boot and replaced it with a Gateway splash screen. You can get the BIOS here:

I am only posting this because I spent hours trying to get some RAM to work in my system and came across this. It fixed my RAM issues in conjuction with a new VIA 4-in-1 Driver install.

Hope this is useful!!!

PS - As always, when you mess with the BIOS, YOU mess with it. I accept no and take no responsibility for your computer's death if anything should go wrong.

Yeah, we've actually known this for a while. Thunder was running it (is he still? I dunno). I think actually the 0F08.P00 official one downloadable from eMachines website is newer than the 52.00.01

Ya, i was running the Gateway for a while until my last RMA. I'm just sitting on the Official 08 bios from eMachines now. Has anyone tried that Targa bios at the bottom of the page? It's even newer.

On the AMD boards a couple of folks said they did, but reverted. The M series seemed to have battery issues when using it.

OOh that sucks. But the official download from the eMachines website has the latest version of that too, so they can just download it there.
