Gateway 2000 BIOS unlock
#1
I have a Gateway 2000 PC from circa 1998. It has Phoenix Bios 4.0 R6.0.

This is for an Intel 440BX chipset motherboard (MP440BX I Believe). Anyway, I am hoping there's a possibility of trying to overclock this old thing just for fun, but it might be physically impossible... I don't know. The BIOS documentation I have found suggests there should be a way to "change the processor speed" but it is not showing in my BIOS anyway.

UPDATE: I should mention that the PC originally had a P2 350 CPU, 100MHz FSB. I upgraded it to an 850MHz "coppermine" P3 sometime later. I believe from what I have read that I will be unable to alter the multiplier, but I am hoping I might be able to push the FSB as far as 133MHz, as that was within the realm of things available at the time.

The Model is GP6-350, but the manufacturer's link has long since disappeared, so all I can do is give you the file I downloaded in 2000. The original file is called 7508283.exe (md5: 18baeb1b1953e64b82bc3b1e0df0177c). It is actually a self extracting zip file, so I will repackage it as a regular zip, because you probably don't want an exe I imagine.

It's meant to be booted from floppy (yes I still have some around!) There are several images in the zip, but the AUTOEXEC.BAT seems to flash the P21-0033.BIO file. I will just send them all as originally included so someone more knowledgeable might figure out why there are so many files.

Also If I am wasting my or anyone else's time, let me know Smile (Well, I already know I'm wasting time, but that's beside the point)

Thanks!

EDIT: I will add some hashes of this zip, but for anyone reading this keep in mind this is not an official zip, and hopefully the contents haven't been corrupted in these 14 years. This is just a hash of what I have provided in case it uploaded wrong.

Meh, I did some more searching and it looks like overclocking would be impossible from what I have read. It looks like this board can run the FSB at 66MHz or 100MHz. I still wonder if that would make it theoretically possible to hack it to 133 though.

I'm also still curious if there are any other hidden settings I could change though.

Hello jbeta,

Sorry for the disappointment, but I am unable to mod this type of BIOS. This BIOS is so ancient that not even PhoenixTool can extract it for modding. I have never seen such a tiny BIOS (64.1KB)!

If you have any newer PC's with Phoenix BIOS's, I could mod those.
