Can anyone give me an idea of the symptoms I'm likely to see if I've
buggered up a bios chip.  

I was moving an Opti 895 486 m/board into a different case and fitting
it temporarily with an unknown amd33dx.  Failing to get it going
properly (although at this time the winbios was working) I was swapping
various parts in order to track down the problem.  Trying to eliminate
the processor as the problem I seem to have made a fatal mistake in
swapping it for something rather different.  I tried a umc33 as the only
similar sort of thing to hand, which didn't work at all on the DX33
settings, and now, back to the amd, there seems to be no signal to the
monitor or the drives.  The power goes on but nothing else, and the
monitor shuts down.

I seem to have trashed the board but before consigning it to the bin
wondered if I might have any chance of resurrecting it with another
bios, though I suspect I might have trouble getting one anyway.

Anyone with any experience of this?
