    Yeah I don't think even 70% of these will get done any time soon unless a tutorial is made for phoenix BIOS, I can help contribute as the one I modded is working on a few laptops in here now (HP BIOS F.3D)

    well the best way to do this is as follows:

    download the bios file, open the .rom or .wph in phoenix bios editor, go to phoenix bios editor \TEMP dir, open all files in WinHex, do a search across all files for 'WINDOWS' (without the ') , case sensitive...

    then check the next few bytes after WINDOWS: if its 20 00 00 00 00 its an old slic, otherwise its a new one.

    close all windows in WinHex afterward, close the file in PBE, and move on the next bios :)

    if you find one with a new slic, pm me the url for it, i will extract it and put it in the SLIC collection thread.

    do not bother checking bioses for 2.1 SLICS that are released i guess before mid july 2009, they are very unlikely to contain these slics... thanks for any effort :)

    i can see the table just fine, marker starts at 0x66560 for example... but it doesnt matter anyway, i posted a mod for this bios 1 or 2 pages back. just below his post. (or i think its a bios file for the same machine anyway)

    Yes justinkb, your modded BIOS is the exact same version as my original BIOS. It was very unfamiliar territory for me, but it seems like you made light work of it. ;)

    I'm almost done with the Windows 7 install process now so I can test justinkb's mod. It's 2am, so I'll leave things here and I'll report back tomorrow.

    Thanks guys. :)

    My copy of my F32 BIOS opened successfully in PBE with only the Q, H, etc. errors which were normal as others said. Then I followed what Yen did. The rebuild has no errors, but the mod is doubtful and very dangerous to flash.

    At least we have one working mod for Quanta 30CF nForce 560 F.32 -SLIC 2.1

    :D
