    Eh ... maybe I was unclear: Is there a Bios (A06) for Dell XPS M2010 with Slic 2.1 Mod available for download? A link to that download would be nice.

    I am using the hdr tool from dtk2.rar downloaded from another thread here, and using WinHex, I found the offset that the ICH9R option rom starts at in the XPS420-A07.hdr file, it starts at 5A685.

    How do I know what the module type and section types are? Is it B and 08? Something different?

    How do I determine where the next section/module starts?

    Can I use the .bin file with the hdr tool? I have the ICH9R version 8.7.9.1007 bin file, and if I use lzss-r.exe to convert to a .rom, its all garbled and doesn't resemble the code I see in the split-out .rom files.

    All I think I need to do is figure out where the next module starts, and what the section and module types are, and I can build a new bios that has ICH9R 8.x firmware in it and my SSD should work.

    I appreciate any help.

    Thanks

    I have not been able to get this guy to work. I successfully flash the bios but it doesn't register as a 2.1 slic table. When I unpack this, I never see a file named bios_slic.rom, only bios.rom. It has a later date than the one in the original bios folder, but I've been unable to make it work. I know this is an old post and others have had luck but I am struggling. Please help!
