    Yes, I was aware of that limitation with the Phoenix tool.

    That's why the request was put out to "super-modders"!!

    Hopefully, somebody will be able to unravel this mystery (and potentially for other non-SLIC DELL bioses)

    Just as a FYI

    Dell Precision Workstation T3400 A09 BIOS has SLIC 2.1 built in!
    Same goes for T3500 A03 BIOS.

    I think the mod requests for old Dells should be moved off into a new thread for simplicity's sake...

    Well, I am considered a "super modder" and what he is trying to tell you is this: THIS FILE CANNOT BE MODIFIED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM because only DELL PHOENIX FILES with a slic of v2.0 can be modified.

    Your bios is a DELL PHOENIX BIOS which was issued prior to Vista and therefore, there is NO SLIC 2.0 in your bios by which a SUPER MODDER can modify it....

    In otherwords, this has nothing to do with the limitations of the Phoenix Mod Tool and you are s**t out of luck and will need a loader to activate windows.
