I'm wondering how much work it would be to inject this into an older Award BIOS. If memory serves, ISA option ROM's somehow did not load automatically... what did work was link the ROM as a PCI PnP option ROM and insert it into the BIOS image instead of the original PCI NIC option ROM (referring to its HW PCI ID's). Requires a NIC integrated on the motherboard. No such procedure is mentioned in the XTIDE docs... Frank
