    The Dell 600M A17 mod that was posted a long time ago does NOT work. I disassembled the ROM files and I see why. The mod added a SLIC 2.1 and put a pointer to it in the RSDT but the BIOS code copies that RSDT from ROM into ram and then stuffs two table pointers into it, overwriting the pointer to the SLIC. Just for fun I tried manually fixing up the RSDT in memory and it worked but of course that only lasted until reboot.

    Can someone make a new rom mod for it, please?
