    I think there's more than one issue. One being cbrom recognizing the kinds of modules. (Some new ones are formatted differently for example ending in FF instead of 00 or difference in module header and cbrom might not handle them right, making changes to them.) If the only issue was cbrom handling all the modules right then you could move them all yourself as one block right? But I thought some also had fixed entry points, and if they were moved, even if the module stays identical, the bios might not work because of the offset change. Is that incorrect and the only issue being if cbrom recognizes and formats the module properly?

    An example of a module to not move:

    Code:
                  ********  EP45UD3R.F7 BIOS component ********
    
     No. Item-Name         Original-Size   Compressed-Size Original-File-Name
