I'm using HIS excalibur 9550 128 mb, 128-bit and I want to change the bios to 9600 pro

after made DOS bootup disk and a backup of my 9550 bios, I picked up HIS 9600 pro bios (modified and original) from this site's bios collection I started to type 'flashrom -p 0 9600.bin(I named it 9600)' and after a little process, it shows error message: asic memory doesn't match the bios file.(both modified and original HIS 9600 pro bios)

after that, I decided to download HIS 9600 non pro 128mb bios original and modified. I typed 'flashrom -p 0 rv360.bin(I named it rv360). it showed error message also: ssid doesn't match the bios file(both original and modified).

is it ok to force the bios? or what should I do? :)

The only way to flash it is to force the BIOS. It will always have that error message when flashing to a BIOS that isn't the exact same model as the one in the card. Make sure you have the right BIOS though.

Hi dude. I also have the same card as you. HIS 9550 128MB. I'm planning to flash to HIS 9600NP bios. Is your card using Hynix 4.0 ? How's the flashing process ? Any problems ? Thanks for your feedback.
