    Very nice...:D
    This trick adds the option to cbrom 1.82 to add any module at any position.
    Moderators, I think it would be nice to move this info to the Mod Your Own Bios thread and update the guide for GB bioses manual mod.

    Thanks for your time and patientes Yen...:D

    Thanks a lot, Petar, you're welcome.:):D

    Keep on your good work! This little trick is also very useful if you have to make a complete manual award-mod, or to recompress the systembios.

    Therefore just type cbrom182 yourbios.bin /other 5000:0 systembios.bin
    Systembios.bin is the ORIGINAL.BIN code, the resulting bios.rom will be the compressed systembios. Please keep in mind that at old award bioses the structure is a bit different. After the compressed module, you have to set the 8 bit checksum of it, then the next module can follow, followed by its checksum as well and so on.........

    I think this here is a special case. To update the OEM7 mod method is probably not neccessary, because it's almost not used anymore. The first choice to mod Gigabyte bios is to add ISA code by tommiy..........

    @Fenuxx

    Yes, this bios is a special one. It contains sensible modules and the call of the tables is at acpi-table not at systembios. So you have to do a special mod.

    And yes, Fzeven's new mod is well done and should activate every time. The 'old' mod was done with the ISA2 method, which doesn't activate every bios.....
