[Request] Tualatin support on a QDI Advance 10f

[uazzamerican]

Hello all,
I tried to solve it myself but it seems it is beyond my knowledge.
Could someone please inject Tualatin microcodes on the latest bios for the Advance 10F?

Thanks

Post screenshots of first (CPU) & third (Mainboard) tabs of CPU-Z with supported CPU.
Explain exactly what happens when you try to boot with your Tualatin CPU. Post a photo of this CPU.
Attach current BIOS firmware.

Thank you Deathbringer,
I really would like to, but the system won't post (black screen) with the Tualatin cpu + S370gu adaptor in it.
I know it works because they are ok on a Abit BX133 with modified bios.

It appears that the QDI board (via Apollo133a) needs the correct tualatin microcodes to properly work.
The cpu is a Pentium 3-s 1400mhz.

Here the bios to be modified:

And here the donor:

Tried to find the 10t bios anywhere wothout luck, so I attached the 6t. It should be ok for microcodes.

Hope that something can be done.

Make a current dump of BIOS by Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0.

All right.
I screwed all.
After updating the bios with a supposed tualatin ready one (the procedure completed without problems), the screen stays black even with the P3 coppermine...
What a shame...

Hello again.
I was able to recover the motherboard with the award recovey procedure and a floppy.
Lucky me I guess.

I was also able to find the bios for Advance 10T that should definitely be the donor for Tualatins microcodes:

And this is the bios that is now on the motherboard (so to be inflated with new microcodes)

The motherboard power up but the screen stays black, no beeps (with the adapter+tualatin, with the P-III 800 it works of course)

I read on the net that the QDI logo takes a lot of space in the bios eprom so a while ago a guy conceled it to load all tualatin microcodes and he succeded (same Advance 10F board).
I would realy like to do it myself but I can't.

Also I am not sure how to use the Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0 as the board is not connected to any HD yet. Sorry Deathbringer, I know I am a noob...

Can you do something?

[DeathBringer]

Too late. Now I'm not interested in that.

Is there someone else that is “interested” in giving me some help here?
