Does anyone have any schematics of a BUIS savior (to do it yourself). I'm interested in making these, and maybe even selling them to interested people, but before I start designing my own schematics, maybe someone has seen it somewhere.
Look at:

It's a hack of a BIOS savior using one FlashROM, no PCB, just a switch and three
wires. I don't know what the BIOS saviour is doing exactly, but generally you could
wire two identical FlashROMs in parallel (except the /CE signal). Then you connect
the /CE signal coming from the Mainboard to the switch. The other two pins of the
switch are connected to the /CE signal of the two FlashROMs. That's all...
Disadvantage: You'll need a 32pin PLCC-Plugin-Adapter (I don't know the right name)!
Best regards,
Sven
