I did find out the extra zero in my search, thank you. Now I got a few hits at digikey. No, I don't have a FLASH programmer, but i can purchase one if needed, and the price is not to high. According what you write it does not seem to be possible to program an empy BIOS with a boot floppy similar to re-programming an existing one. Can I copy the content of the old BIOS with a programmer and start from there? How to proceed? -- Svante Signell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios@clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
