Well, you got me curious since I haven't looked at their page in a very long time. http://www.freiburg.linux.de/openbios/ It's evident they're still warning that the project is a long way from being "ready for prime time." and "A lot of work has to be done on the development environment." Also, my own take on this is that with rapid changes in motherboard hardware and bios requirements for ever changing cpu-cache-ram-peripheals, it's gonna be very difficult for them to ever get current. I would think compatibility with other bios' (eg, video card) that load during the boot process could also be a major obstacle. To me, their reference to using dosemu to flash is less than confidence inspiring also. -- ������Tom Brinkman � � Corpus Christi, Texas, USA
