I've been upgrading the "kid/wife" computer with the mobo that I got from a friend, a Tyan S2060. I bought a PIII - 1 GHZ slot 370 processor for it, got everything hooked up. Get the bios stuff, detects the HD, I cna go into bios setup, but when I exit I get a blinkin cursor up in left hand corner.
According to their web site, I need to update the AMI Bios to 1.03, as the old Bios 1.01 doesn't recognize the faster 1 GHZ processor. Well, if the thing was working, I could do this easily. The have alternate instructions on putting BIOS on floppy, then pressing CTRL home while the thing boots up. This doesn't seem to work.
Any Ideas? I'm thinking of buying a 533 Celeron processor just to get the thing to boot, and then update Bios, put other processor back in.
