Default Re: Snap Server 4000 that thinks it's a 2000

If you had the BIOS file you could. But there presents the problem, do you have the BIOS files?

You have the proper OS loaded, just all of the flags are off.

Some of the early early OS Update files (v2) had the MOAI files but none that I have seen included the BIOS files. Unless it was hidden on the factory cd shipped with unit. But none that I have seen. All of the sup files are in Intel HEX code. So the code is loaded to specific flashram addresses. I do not have a program that extracts the code from a working unit, nor have I heard of one.

The BIOS FLUP (5 blinks) mode is what is used when you use assist to load the OS. Snapup is like a early Assist program.

It took me over a year to figure how to reset a 1000 that was set to a 2000 model, would not boot at all.
