Pentium II OverDrive Microcode Update into AMI BIOS
Hello,
I'm from Germany and new here and I hope someone can help me!
At the moment I build a exotic retro computer. I own some rare riser cards (TYAN M2020; Socket 8 to Slot 1 adapter) and rare Pentium II Overdrive CPUs. I want to put the processors on a dual slot1 motherboard Tyan Tiger 2 (S-1692DL), but the AMI BIOS doesn't recognized the CPUs. So they don't work correctly and the the L1 and L2 Cache is disabled.
I tried to update the microcodes into the BIOS with Intels Checkup.exe, but it doesn't work with this AMI BIOS. I did another try with the German microcode programm CTMC. Same think, doesn't work.

I dont have much experience with patching the BIOS. So can someone help me here in this forum and could put the the microcode for the Pentium II Overdrive into the original BIOS image which you can find here:
tyan.com/archive/support/html/b_tg_atx.html
hopefully waiting for an answer
and sorry for my bad English, I'm German
cheers
Markus

Try to use bios patcher v6.00alpha15 - it requires some utilities and files (microcodes, etc) that are available by that link. Of course, you may flash patched BIOS to other chip - if something goes wrong (and it can because patcher with AMI support still in alpha version), you can easily revive your board.
Also patcher potentially can fix some BIOS errors.
If patcher doesn't help - you may try to replace microcodes by AMIBCP manually.

Hi,
I used bios patcher v6.00alpha15 and patched the BIOS image file. BP said that all modules were patched successfully. Than I flashed the patched image file to the BIOS with AMIflash. But the CPUs are still not recognized by the BIOS. I took the REALL.COD file, but there isn't a Microcode for the PIIOD in it. So I used the 1632-02.COD from All_Microcodes.zip and renamed it to REALL.COD and patched the BIOS again. Same thing... I hope I did it right.
I posted the problem to other forums. People there said, that they used AMIBCP for Windows, but this Version doesn't work with my BIOS image file. Than they used AMIBCP for DOS Version 7.xx ---> This version worked with my image file, but they don't find a microcode module in it.
Someone other said, that in the TYAN manual stands something about AMIBCP version 6.XX . Maybe I should use this one to patch, but nobody find this version in the web?!
Any other idea?
Cheers
Markus
