As I have mentioned before, a company making a lottery ticket kiosk is likely to have a standalone prom burner, which they could use to set the video mode.
A prom burner could be useful to normal end users. In addition to setting the video mode on OGD and OGC, it would provide a safe way to upgrade firmware on mainboards while keeping the original prom unchanged. A safe way to try linuxbios. A way to recover computers with non-functional firmware. Rather than a complete standalone prom burner, I'm thinking of something similar to the readers they have for memory cards used with digital cameras. Plug a prom chip into the device, plug the device into a computer, and read/write/erase the prom as desired. I suspect that USB would be the most popular, but it could plug into Ethernet, Firewire, SCSI, etc. instead if that made more sense. Does something like this already exist? How many different packages are in use for proms? _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
