    Vostro 200 is Award BIOS, not Phoenix--please see Award threads for self-mod or mod request.

    Studio Hybrid 140g will receive an official SLIC 2.1 BIOS from Dell if it doesn't already have one. Did you try flashing the latest BIOS from support.dell.com for that system? If not, hold tight a while and wait for official BIOS from Dell with the 2.1 SLIC.

    Dell Optiplex 755 (DOS gx header)

    DOS flasher does not work. O755-A14 does not recognize -readgzfile [Invalid command line]

    I'll test the Windows flasher when you re-release it again.

    Excellent work and progress - hopefully we can get a DCCU tutorial or quick start guide.

    You're right. I just easily modded the Vostro 200 BIOS. Sorry, still new to this. The Studio Hybrid appears to use an AMI BIOS and I'm trying to figure out if it already has SLIC 2.1.

    Thanks for the BIOS A07 for the Dell XPS 420, I confirm that it works (SLIC 2.1 well present (checked with RW-Everything)).

    The only thing you should know is that when you lunch the .exe it restarts Windows immediately, without even asking you anything! I had some documents opened and I loss some work that I didn't save... It's OK but you should let people know about that.

    Thank you :)

    The first boot with new bios, never quick boot, if it continues check that quick boot is enabled in your bios....

    Do you get it done with DCCU? If you did, please give an instruction to do that.

    TIA.

    Updated with windows version, just download and run, will reboot automatically so people, save any open work before flashing and these bioses aren't all tested please do not flash if you aren't aware of the consequences!
