    DMIScope reports

    BIOS of your computer is able to modify DMI structures.
    ===================================================

    The following data can be modified:

    BIOS Information (Type 0)
    The entire structure
    Offset 05h: BIOS Version string
    Offset 08h: BIOS Release Date string

    System Information (Type 1)
    The entire structure
    Offset 04h: Manufacturer string
    Offset 05h: Product Name string
    Offset 06h: Version string
    Offset 07h: Serial Number string

    Base Board Information (Type 2)
    The entire structure
    Offset 04h: Manufacturer string
    Offset 05h: Product string
    Offset 06h: Version string
    Offset 07h: Serial Number string

    System Enclosure or Chassis (Type 3)
    The entire structure
    Offset 04h: Manufacturer string
    Offset 05h: Type byte
    Offset 06h: Version string
    Offset 07h: Serial Number string
    Offset 08h: Asset Tag Number string
    Offset 0Dh: OEM-defined dword

    But, when I entire a new string and click "Write", string remains the same, it won't change. Any suggestions?

    Then use the HP string... i.e Hewlett-Packard.

    BTW, did u run DMIScope as admin??

    HP string doesn't work, that was actually the first one I tried. The location of the SLP doesn't seem to be where it should be with this BIOS: OEMBIOS failed to locate SLP and WinXP failed to activate.

    Yes, DMIScope was as admin.

    how to just add slp manufacturer to AMI with modtool, etc

    I have a stuborn ASRock intel P4V88 motherboard with ami bios, and tried but failed to change DMI Manufacturer string in MSDOS, but was able to copy the original bios from the EEPROM with a programmer (and successfuly wrote it back after bricking it when trying update from manufacturer, works now, but not SLP).

    I only want to add SLP OEM MANUFACTURER name to the BIOS (I prefer "EMACHINES"), not slic 2.0 or 2.1. I have experience with Award bios, changing OEM SLP string with hexedit, or DMICFG in MSDOS, and even changed DMI for intel bios and AMI bios under MSDOS, but never tried AMI bios with HEXEDIT.

    BIOS dump from eprom programmer opens with both modtool and modtool2. Can Modtool just change SLP info without changing (adding) SLIC? Opened with Hex edit, last 11 lines, starting at 000FF50 to end of file shows:

    0003FF50 ECD1 1FBF 414D 4942 4F4F 5420 524F 4D00 ....AMIBOOT ROM.
    0003FF60 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1D47 0000 0000 ...........G....
    0003FF70 1250 0051 4900 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 .P.QI...........
    0003FF80 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................

    0003FFE0 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................
    0003FFF0 EA48 FF00 F030 372F 3232 2F30 3400 FC00 .H...07/22/04...

    at what address would OEM (SLP DMI) info be located?

    Thanks!
