Help with BIOS from EMC (or EMC2) company

Howdy people,

I rencently accquired a Twinhead P88TREMC laptop for fun, and am having a blast messing around with it. One thing that I did wrong however, was that I flashed the BIOS to a Twinhead BIOS, which I guess is slightly different that the EMC BIOS 🙁

Well, I am stuck now, because the laptop boots up and it beeps error codes, and the screen does not come on.

Originally this had a Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Release 6, and the BIOS for the laptop was 1.04.0001 (EMC2).

Now all I have to go on this laptop is that it was manufactured for EMC with a built in NIC (which is rare for these models) and it came with 2 pcmcia NIC cards. I am not quite sure what it was used for.

Anyways, the laptop specs are as follows:

Intel Celeron 333 MHz
128 MB SDRAM
6GB HD
2X DVD ROM (I installed, as it had no optical drives)

and these numbers:

EMC # 090-000-073 (probably a serial number)

and some Twinhead serial numbers.

Now, who should I go to for finding the correct BIOS? Twinhead or EMC? I also need to find someone that can re-flash a BIOS chip ( a little square 32 pin chip).

Thanks for any help if possible... I know this is a big request, but I thought that I would come to the right place to ask 😀
