FIX BIOS REPAIR BIOS

The bios backup and repair kit (BIOS KIT) is specifically designed for the backup, repair and analysis of corrupt or damaged computer motherboard bios chips. Nearly all computers manufactured today have motherboards which use bios chips based on flash memory technology. Flash memory is ideal for bios applications as it allows updates without removing the chip from the board. To that end, a flash bios is ideal until something goes awry. Whether a computer virus, a malfunction during a bios update or a random failure, once the bios program becomes damaged or corrupt, the motherboard and computer are rendered useless. The BIOS KIT kit provides you with a complete set of backup, analysis and repair tools for any standard bios part. Note: The BIOS KIT must be connected to a working computer to perform the backup, analysis and repair operations. The BIOS KIT cannot repair a bios part if the chip itself is electronically defective. (Comments from customers who purchased the BIOS kit)

**Here are the primary functions you can perform with the BIOS KIT**
1. Take a corrupt or damaged bios chip and reprogram it from a file or working bios. The disk file may be downloaded from the motherboard manufacturers website, other internet site or obtained from a copy of a working bios.
2. Back up a working bios chip to a disk file. The backup file may then be used to reinitialize the original chip in the event of a failure or another bios from an identical but non-functional computer.
3. Compare one bios chip to another or a chip to a file. This allows you to determine if two bios parts are identical. You may also compare a suspect bios to a master file. The BIOS KIT software will perform a byte-by-byte compare and display any differences.

ILLUSTRATED INSTRUCTIONS

The BIOS KIT instructions are provided as a photographically illustrated "WEBSITE ON DISK". This allows you to use your web browser in a local mode (directed to your CDROM) to sequence through each illustrated step. Each operation is described and illustrated specifically for the non-technical user. Whether you are working with a DIP package or the latest PLCC firmware hub, each step, from the determination of the part number to programming and wrapping up is discussed. The bios kit CD also includes the standard EPROM+ software which allows you to use the programming instrument for applications other than just bios repair.

The BIOS KIT is based on the proven technology of the EPROM+ programming unit. The software provided also includes all standard EPROM+ software features plus the enhancements for bios work. Listed below are the MAIN MENU selections from which you may choose. You simply "click on" the operation you wish to perform and follow the illustrated instructions. In addition to operational instructions, the BIOS KIT also addresses the following points of interest:

What is the BIOS chip and what does it do?
How is a BIOS chip created?
A brief history of BIOS chips
How does a BIOS become damaged or corrupt?

STANDARD BIOS KIT (#BBK-1) - $299.00
select for on-line purchase

STANDARD BIOS KIT (#BBK-1) - The Standard Bios Kit supports all bios parts in DIP packages. The BBK-1 includes the EPROM+ programming unit, BIOS KIT software, EPROM+ software, BIOS KIT website on disk, BIOS KIT start up document, EPROM+ manual, printer port cable and power pack. If the bios devices with which you are working are primarily DIP parts, this is the most cost effective solution. You may also purchase the APLCC32HB adapter in the future if you encounter bios devices in PLCC packages.

BIOS KIT PLUS (#BBK-2) - $349.00
select for on-line purchase

BIOS KIT PLUS (#BBK-2) - The Bios Kit Plus supports all bios devices in both DIP and PLCC packages. The BBK-2 includes the EPROM+ programming unit, BIOS KIT software, EPROM+ software, BIOS KIT website on disk, BIOS KIT start up document, EPROM+ manual, printer port cable and power pack. It also includes the APLCC32HB adapter. This adapter adds support for all bios devices in PLCC packages, both standard and firmware hub. With the BIOS KIT PLUS you will be capable of supporting virtually all known bios parts. If you purchase the BIOS KIT PLUS you receive the APLCC32HB adapter at half its normal cost.

NOTE: If you already own an EPROM+ system and wish to purchase the illustrated BIOS KIT documentation disk, you may do so for $19.00
