forget it. We can't even get these vendors to tell us what we need to know. You will never get them to write drivers for your bios. BTW, we are at 15 months and counting for AMD to release materials they have already told me should never have been NDA'd. And you want these folks to write drivers too? I still think that long-term Linux makes the most sense for a bios. Not because it is the most efficient, but because it reduces the support load to zero. ron
