AT&T Globalyst 515 (NCR 3232) Upgrade Problem...
- Señor C.J. -
cheap, and I downloaded the latest BIOS (v.2.08) per instruction of
the Intel website. Everything seemed to go well,but when I boot the
machine it flashes "v.2.08 and Pentium 83 mhz" but the system freezes!
When I go into the BIOS it still says "Surepath BIOS v.2.03" and
"Processor Unknown" I believe I somehow only PARTIALLY flashed the
BIOS if possible. My question is, Does anyone know where I can pick up
Version 2.05?, which is what the Intel site says is the minnimum
version I can use. If not maybe you could help me figure out how to
fix the existing flash...
Thanks in advance,

I Don't know about that. The machine used to show 2.03 before I
flashed it, but now it shows 2.08...

It is possible to "partially" flash the BIOS. However, if you did, it is
ruined. If the BIOS won't boot the normal operating system, it won't boot
the flash BIOS disk. "Surepath" is the name for the setup program contained
in the BIOS, the 2.03 indicates the version of the setup program, not the
BIOS code.
The first thing I would do is see if it will boot with the original
processor. If it will, check out the machine as thoroughly as you can. If
it works OK, try the Pentium again. If the Pentium won't work, then you may
just be SOL unless you can find 2.05.

the system description (AT&T Globalyst 515 or NCR 3232), go to NCR's PC
support website for BIOS and drivers.

I believe you will have to move a jumper on the main-board to make the
new CPU work. The jumper is not documented in any written manual. I
will try to inspect a main-board at my work and return with a more
specific answer in near future. I cannot remember which jumper rigth
now, but I have had a similar problem 1½ year ago and solved it by
moving the jumper. I think yoy have made the BIOS-upgrade OK.
Otherwise you prpbably would not be able to boot the PC at all.

Acording to the manual the jumpers are set the same for a DX2-66 as
for the overdrive chip...although the manual *was* written prior to
the realease of the chip. I guess I'll have to do some
experimenting...

The Intel part was refering to the overdrive compatibility page,
that's where it said I needed at least v.2.05. The version on the NCR
website is 2.08...

1. at 100mhz the pci and agp busses run at the 66mhz or 33mhz right? but
at 75 and 83 it changes it to a faster mhz? It did seem to run real bad
when i tried these settings. so if i try 112 or 124 mhz will it change
it like 75 and 83 did?
2. How can you change the speed of your video card? software? I have a
CL banshee agp 16mb, via 503+ MB, 32meg pc100. My software came default
at 100, i changed it to 125 and is running good.
3. If i ad a voodoo 2 card together with my banshee will it speed up 3d
games even though both are based on the same core?
4. What monitor would you suggest that is good but reasonably priced? i
have a 1024x768 .28 PB now.
thanks in advance...

Return the upgrade chip if you possibly can or sell it. We tried three
different 486->Pentium upgrade chips on the Globalyst 515's at work (the
Trinity Works chip, the Kingston Turbochip and the Evergreen 486 Upgrade) and
none of them worked. We could get the machines up and running, but never above
the speed of the original 486DX2/50.
Even NCR (AT&T) confirmed that the 515 won't accept an upgrade chip.

this thread from the beginning. I would appreciate if some would relay the
site address where the BIOS for an AT&T Globalyst 515 could be downloaded.
Thank you
