I have had to strip the system down to the board, 32MB EDO, 256K COAST
a speaker, floppy drive and P166.

I am trying to reflash the BIOS.

The motherboard is a socket 7 PBA641508-701 , CA639903-001.

With J1N1 jumpered 1-3, 5-6 I get nothing. I have jumpered 2-3 for 
Flash recovery, and I have made a bootable floppt. I have also unpacked
to that floppy. the files from the latest BIOS EXE (10005cb0.exe).

When I boot, I get one bleep then another some time after, and then 
a series of regular low pitch beeps, wshich, from plugging the disk into
another machine is which does not support flash upgrade, is indicating that
the system does not support flash upgrading!!!

Help.....Please....
