Hi,

It is an old board now, but can anyone suggest how one determines
the version of this board, Tyans support page indicates that there are
2 versions 2466n and 2466n-4m with dioffering sized bios for each.
Can't see anything in the manual that might give me a clue.

Any tips appreciated!

Martyn

locate the bios rom on the board
it will be identified as 2 or 4mb
another way to tell is whether the onboard usb works - if it does its
the -4m but if usb is provided by a pci card its the earlier model

If it boots, look at the BIOS version number at POST. If my memory
serves me correctly, 2466n BIOSes are v1.xx and 2466n-4m BIOSes are v4.xx.
