    Hi guys

    I recently swapped out cards on my m9750 and unfortunately have lost my parent bios. I have google'd for it and searched the forum and while it was uploaded on here some time ago that link is now dead.

    I need the bios version 5.71.22.49.22 from the parent card as right now I can't get my rig to work with both of them with the daughter bios. If anyone would be so kind to upload this again from a dump you might have or if you could email it to me at nelsonkauley [AT] gmail.com I would be greatly appreciated as I cant do anything right now without it. Thanks. Essentially what it is doing is it will start up and load windows but once it tries to load the driver for the cards it black screens me which I think is caused by it goofing from seeing both bios on both cards as the same. any help is greatly appreciated.

    Parent BIOS as in the slave card BIOS?
    I had it on my system a while back i'll see if I can find it for you. If not i'll try and take a dump of it from my 7950 pair when I have time.

    As I said i'll do it when I get round to it. I'm sending mine in next week to have the casing replaced and will be putting the original parts back in then.

    I hate to bring up a old topic but can anyone provide me with both the BIOS for Daughter: 5.71.22.49.27 / BIOS 2 - Parent: 5.71.22.49.22.

    Cause no one seems to have it anywhere else and all the links that used to have them are dead D=

    I hate to bump this thread, but I'm in the same boat - need the parent drivers. The parent bios has disappeared from the internet, and the link above is dead. Help would be appreciated!
