    Zort can probably remove some of the CPU microcode from the bios to make room for the SLIC.BIN and an ISA mod. I do not have time for the specific analysis, but a quick peek seems to be promising.. I will try to see it again tomorrow, but I can make no promises.

    I think this is not impossible, It may take some figuring though...:cool:

    Have you tried the bios to flash.?

    You cannot just remove the logos. If they are referenced in the bios code, and they are not there...well we have just caused a BRICK..

    The answer is to shrink them by making them black. The 00 or FF compresses better and effectively shrinks the bios. Offsets have to be kept in the newer bios, these are not that picky, but you cannot arbitrarily remove the modules without changing the reference pointers in the bios code..Very poor practice..:eek:

    Spooky wasnt saying to remove them, as he certainly knows enough about these bios structure to know that would most likely brick the MOBO..Thanks for the effort though..:D

    Can you test original, unmodded F2H to see if there is corruption in case it is a difference with this bios version not the mod? Also remember clearing cmos and loading defaults is sometimes necessary going from one version to another.
