    I could really use some help with this. At this point even just pointing me in the right direction would be great. I posted this last week but did not get any responses. I figured trying again couldn't hurt.

    Hello,
    I have a request different from most that I have seen on this board. Basically I need to know what stepping levels are supported by a BIOS. This is not the first time I have needed to do this (generally I am asked every week about a new BIOS). So I would be very grateful if someone could explain how to disassemble/examine BIOS files and identify the stepping levels that are supported.

    At the moment I need to identify the supported stepping levels of a SuperMicro X8DTT motherboard. Here is the link to the motherboard supermicro.com/products/motherboard/QPI/5500/X8DTT.cfm Link to download the BIOS supermicro.com/support/resources/getfile.aspx?ID=1521 or go to the motherboard page in the small blue box on the right labeled "Update your BIOS" I would have provided a direct link to the file but it is masked by a javascript redirect.

    Eventually I would like to be able to edit a BIOS to support other stepping levels but I think that might be a long way off based on how complex it looks.

    Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
