Probably not. They are all simiar products, but customized for different
manufacturers and motherboard models.

BTW, did you try the instructions I posted?

I couldn't find any information on my mother board but I did try
following the steps you outlined. I was very hopeful that things would
start going better when I pulled the video board and I got the 8 beeps
as you said I might. But it still is doing the same thing. It seems to
be corrupted somehow. So I guess that I would need to have a chip
burned especially for my particular mother board. The chances of that
happening are slim at best. I was hopeful when I saw all the AMI
bios's. Do you suppose it would hurt anything to try the last one I
found in the dead machine? Lenny
