    Hello MDL-Guys,

    I built a Futro S500 with an Turion DualCore CPU (much faster than the normal CPU) and it works fine.

    Now i want to do the same with an old S450 (nearly the same Board, no PCI, only one RS232) but it did't accept the CPU.

    So I start to try to install the S500-Bios on the S450 with USB.
    The first try failed with: Can't find the file D2703_B1.OCF

    Okay so i renamed the File at the USB from D2703_A1.OCF to D2703_B1.OCF

    Now it say, the file is not for this system.

    So i tried to mod the File with a HEX-Editor and rename all Entrys with 2703_A1 to 2703_B1 but it still didn't work.

    I hope you can help me. I have completly no experience with BIOS-Modding .. so if you want to explain me something start with very easy words.
    You can find the Bios here: http***support.ts.fujitsu.com/productselect.asp?lng=com&Level1=20973

    Thank you

    (OP)
    okay Problem is more or less solved ... cpu TL-58 running fine.

    But there is a new Problem. I hope you can help me now.
    With this BIOS the CPUs (TL-60 @ S500, TL-58 @ S450 and S500) running ALWAYS only at 800 MHz.
    This seems to be be lock in the BIOS. Is it possible to unlock the correct CPU-Speed?

    PLEASE HELP.


    Edit: Maybe this could help?! h**ps://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2014/05/msg00069.html
