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

Dave, so all they need is a bios file program from the factory? How would one, having a good raw bios file, upload to the said bad bios chip via FLUP command?
Is it possible for anybody to receive a good bios file from there Snap4000 with FLUP ?

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.
