Tyan tempest S2696 bios mod help

Hello,

I’m trying to open and modify the bios of a Tyan Tempest S2696, this is a phoenix bios.
I want to integrate a new version op Intel Option Rom
the latest bios I can find is here.

when I try to open it with CBROM I get a black line and nothing happens. See image ->

Also tried to open the bios in the phoenix bios editor but I get error messages.

Does somebody know what i can do to modify the bios.
thanks.

@ helucky:

Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

Unfortunately some Phoenix BIOSes cannot be opened and modified with any CBROM version.
Nevertheless I will look for a solution for you tomorrow.

Regards
Fernando

Thank you for your quick response

looking forward to the solution

I am sorry, but I cannot help you.
None of the official BIOS modding tools is able to modify the Phoenix BIOS of your system.
If you want to get more informations, you may look >here<.

Thank you for your time and afford
I’m gone a look over there
If I find something that works I let you know

That would be great and much appreciated!

Tempest i5000XT. Oh gods how I loathed that board to no end. In no small part due to the design defects in the VRM. (It’s like Tyan’s freaking hallmark - faulty VRMs.)

It’s also an OLD Phoenix BIOS. VERY old and VERY buggy in terms of tools, and they’re Tyan-specific. I have never had any luck finding the Phoenix set for the 5000-series.
