I have tried all the bios files and have got no further. I am still thinking a possible "jumper" but cannot find a manual or reference to one anywhere? anyone?

this is the correct bios for your machine.
http://www.modly.net/CF-28/BIOS/P-BIOS.zip

copy to dos boot disk, flash drive etc
(make sure the bios utility/files are on the BOOT device you are using
boot to dos using flash drive or floppy or cd etc...
just type the following command

"biosup"

reply with exact error message if any.

you could also try renameing the bios to somthing short like
"bios.bin"

then boot to dos and type

bu28m2 bios.bin

just in case whatever version of dos you using doesnt like the file name for some reason.

i have tried all the suggestions with the bios links, but still get the same results. I get tothe bios update tool that shows the machine name and current bios version and then nothing happens. I am trying to get a copy of the bios that has been loaded.

Taken from Enclosed Readme:-

To write model and serial number in the BIOS ROM, perform the
attached utility (BU28M2.EXE) as follows.

BU28M2 -d -sn -cn

Note :
The serial number described in the will be written in the
specific area of the BIOS ROM. "-sn" and "" must be connected
without any spaces.

The model number described in the will be written in the
specific area of the BIOS ROM. "-cn" and "" must be connected
without any spaces.

If is not specified, serial and model number will be
written in the current BIOS ROM.

With "-d" option, this utility doesn't check the existence of
both AC Adaptor and battery, and adjusting date and time in
BIOS setup is not required.


To initialize the CMOS setting to the factory default, perform
the attached utility (ECMOS.EXE) as follows.

ECMOS /isf

Note :
Initialize the CMOS setting to the factory default after updating serial
and model number. Because in some models, CMOS default setting changes
by its model number.

Get the official one to take before we mod one!

Hi,
Can you help?

I would like to write the model number and serial number in the BIOS ROM of my CF28. Your post looked very interesting.

Could you possibly let me know the exact BU28M2 command for doing this with, for example, the model number CF-28PCDEFGH and serial number 3AYBB01234?

Thanks,

[1234s282]

This is DMI information , you need a separate DMI tool but i dont seem to have one for this manufacturer and they are manufacturer specific utilities
