soggi's BIOS & Firmware Page
Welcome to soggi's BIOS & Firmware Page!
Get BIOSes, firmware, drivers, manuals, patches, tools, utilities, tech demos, other downloads and specifications for your legacy/retro/vintage PC hardware and software.
Though this website mainly covers the topics mentioned above, it contains also some other content which is just distantly related to them. For example there is also some information about Karl Koch alias Hagbard Celine or how to block bad bots like Diffbot from your website.
2020/07/25 - v0.97 beta R1
This update is dedicated to my father, my dad - he sadly passed away in May 2020 at the age of 64. His very sudden death was a shock. Thanks to all the relatives and friends for being at his funeral. Dad, we will miss you! R.I.P. - requiescat in pace - rest in peace.
It took a while for the step to the latest (re-)incarnation of soggi.org but here it is. Many additions, changes and fixes have been made - on the content side this update focuses on a lot of new (old) video card tech demos, tools and 3dfx patches / game patches. Hopefully you enjoy the improvements and the new content!
Unfortunately there's some trouble with the hoster's anti-virus software - see Third.
First the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) / COVID-19 days aren't over, unfortunately - stay at home and practice "social distancing" as far as possible and as long as you can to flatten the curve! Please wear a mouth-nose protection in the public, at least. Stay healthy!
BTW soggi.org doesn't support any kind of conspiracy theory bullshit - seriously!
Second this major update replaces all .zip downloads with .7z archives because .7z containers using LZMA2 algorithm provide a significant higher compression rate in the most cases - 7-Zip (Windows), p7zip (Linux/Unix) and Keka (macOS) are recommended for unpacking (see tools).
Third the hoster's (ALL-INKL.COM) anti-virus software (ClamAV) makes some trouble - it detected some files as malware/virus, therefore just deleted them and notification mails were sent by the hoster. One file is the game patch Max Payne 2 v1.01 (also see the virustotal scan) - it should be part of the new content within this update.
These are definitely so-called "false positives" as no other anti-virus software detects them or the wrong detection has been removed from their software by "false positive" request, respectively. Initially the hoster was contacted but the rapid answer stated to post a request at ClamAV's Report False Positive page. Several requests via various e-mail addresses were made in the last months - but ClamAV didn't answer, to none of them.
Nothing, Zero, Nada, Niente, NULL! Heaven only knows what's wrong with ClamAV, rarely saw such a bad support - all other anti-virus software distributors like AVG, Avira, Kaspersky, Microsoft and some others replied to a false positive submission, at least within a few days.
Fourth the alpha / test version status of soggi.org has been removed due to the long stability of this page - the project should now be mature enough to give it a beta status.
Fifth some scene news which also concern soggi.org:
Another good old hardware news and reviewing site has stopped publishing in March 2019 - www.hardocp.com ([H]ard|OCP) has been mothballed and the The Final Bottom Line has been written by the owner Kyle Bennett after more than two decades of service. Since autumn 2019 www.hardocp.com redirects to the [H]ardForum which will persist, fortunately - operation is said to be funded through Patreon.
At the beginning of the last year (2019) also the Polish hardware site FrazPC (www.frazpc.pl) has been shut down.
The German licensee of Tom's Hardware emancipated itself to igor’sLAB, the old content has gone. The domain www.tomshardware.de redirects to www.tomshardware.com, www.tomshw.de rediretcs to www.igorslab.de.
At the beginning of the last year (2019) Foxconn's product and support websites (www.foxconnchannel.com and www.foxconnsupport.com) have been shut down.
In late summer 2019 FIC shut down its FTP server (ftp.fic.com.tw). In addition all information about motherboards and other hardware has been removed from FIC's website.
AOpen removed all the older content from their website. Though their FTP server ftp.aopen.com is still online, the old stuff (pre 2019) has been already removed, but has been readded recently.
All links to [H]ard|OCP, FrazPC and Tom's Hardware (DE) reviews on motherboard spec pages have been replaced by appropriate Wayback Machine links, if available. More AOpen / FIC / Foxconn BIOSes and manuals may be integrated in the future on soggi.org.

2020/03/27 - CORONA - stay at home and flatten the curve with social distancing
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) causes the ongoing pandemic disease called COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) and forces us to keep ourselves away from other humans (so-called "social distancing") and to stay at home to flatten the curve - at least in our free time, if you still go to work.

2019/12/03 - CPUID CPU-Z Vintage Edition 1.01
CPUID expresses it's love to the retro/vintage computer scene - their hardware information tool CPU-Z has been released as a so-called "Vintage Edition" in version 1.01.
The CPU-Z Vintage Edition is a version especially for Win95/98/98SE/ME with focus on old processors and motherboard chipsets from 386's to 686's generation. CPUID celebrates CPU-Z's 20th birthday with this special release.
CPU-Z Vintage Edition is freeware and works on Windows 95 and above.
new features:
- An improved detection of the old processors from 386s to 686s, with or without the cpuid instruction. That includes :
- Intel i386 (SX & DX), i486 (SX to DX4), Pentium (P5 to Tillamook), Pentium Pro, Pentium II and Pentium III (Katmai to Tualatin).
- AMD Am386 (SX & DX), Am486 (SX2 to DX4), Am5x86, K5, K6 (2, 2+ & III) and Athlon (K7 to Barton).
- Cyrix Cx486DLC, Cx486S, Cx486 (DX to DX4), 5x86, 6x86 (& MX), MII, MediaGX.
- and others : IBM 486SLC/SLC2/BL3, NexGen Nx586, UMC U5S & U5D, Rise mP6, IDT Winchip C6, VIA C3 ...
- An improved CPU clock speed computation intended to report the precise clock speed on processors without TSC (namely most 386s and 486s).
When possible, the clock multiplier and the FSB are also reported. - A new INT/FPU benchmark.
Matching the raw computing power of 386 to 586 class processor, that old-style monothreaded CPU bench tests the integer and the floating-point performances. - The L2 cache size and memory timings reading on the most popular old chipsets :
- UMC UM8881.
- Ali M1489/1487, M1531, M1541.
- SiS 85C496/497, 85C501/502/503.
- VIA Apollo VP3/MPV3.
- Intel 430LX/TX/HX, 440FX/LX/BX.
New (old) logos have been also added to the Vintage Edition (see the news linked below).

2019/06/04 - v0.96 alpha R2a test version
This is "just" a security, privacy and bug fix update.
As you know, soggi.org respects your privacy and uses c't Shariff from c't/heise online, a solution to embed social media share buttons without leaking personal data of all visitors. The previously installed version was affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the twitter service and therefor has been replaced by the latest one to preserve security.
Since late 2018 Facebook adds unique identifiers - "Facebook Client ID" (fbclid) - as a query string to the URL of an outgoing link by clicking it. So Facebook users can be tracked better then ever before when they are surfing to other websites. This (U)ID infringes the privacy of Facebook users and bothers webmasters by distorting their website's statistics - thus the "fbclid" is a violation of soggi.org's strict privacy policy and will be removed from any URL as of now by an additional code snippet on the server side.
thx @ParanoidPenguin.net - How to remove Facebook's fbclid parameter using mod_rewrite....
Short list of all changes:
- security: updated c't Shariff to latest version
- privacy: stopped privacy infringement by Facebook's "?fbclid=" query
- fixed: removed website link from first guestbook entry (www.altehardware.de has gone)
- fixed: forgot to add ASUS K7M manual with last update (2018/12/31 - v0.96 alpha R2)
- added motherboard manuals:
2019/05/24 - Karl Koch alias Hagbard Celine - 30th anniversary of death
30 years ago - on May 23/24 1989 - the German computer hacker Karl Koch alias "Hagbard Celine" from Hanover, which was one of the hackers who did the so-called "KGB hack", died under mysterious circumstances at the age of 23. Karl Koch's completely charred body was found in a forest and his death was officially claimed to be a self-immolation/suicide, but the circumstances of his death weren't clarified completely.

The last time I was moving to another hoster was in November/December 2014, I moved the page from soggi.piranho.de (piranho) to soggi.grn.cc (www.grendelhosting.com - Grendel Hosting, Youhosting reseller). All seemed OK for a free hoster - some outages, weak PHP performance, but good features like unlimited disk space, unlimited file size, unlimited traffic, no forced ads, SSH access, 2 MySQL databases, 2 E-mail accounts, some FTP-Clients, free support and other things - enough for this nearly HTML only page.
Last week suddenly the server was completely down for HTTP-requests, the whole files folder (BIOSes, firmware, manuals, drivers, images and logos) was deleted without any notification and the Help Desk (free support via tickets) was deactivated for free hosting clients. Fortunately FTP was still working, so I could save some off page stuff. Today also FTP isn't working anymore, so the server seems to be completely offline.
Even though it's free hosting - this is a shabby treatment by Youhosting and definitely a NO-GO. It seems it isn't Grendel Hosting's fault, because the changes also affect other resellers like freehostingnoads.net.

This website is now hosted by Grendel Hosting, all soggi.piranho.de accesses will be redirected to soggi.grn.cc. Now there's no file size limitation (was 2 MB at piranho) and no advertisement forced by the hoster anymore. The main reason for this decision was that search engine bots were blocked from this website in the last weeks. Another reason was the lousy performance with some hours downtime daily, indeed this problem was fixed with blocking the bots/crawlers, but the page got kicked out of search engine indexes.
