I've been following Linux BIOS for some time. We had a workshop on Linuxbios at the LinuxBierWanderung in Ireland. We got it working with a PC-chips motherboard, and an M-sys disk-on-chip to replace the BIOS chip. Sadly, Chuck Moss from the USA only brought two disk-on-chips over, and could not sell me one :-( I still have the motherboard and am very happy for us to use it in a workshop maybe ? Is there a local supplier of M-sys disk-on-chip? http://www.m-sys.com I will buy one or two if there is. -- http://www-internal.alphanet.ch/linux-leman/ avant de poser une question. Ouais, pour se désabonner aussi.
