    Use the tools provided in packages as they have to be used, read documents.
    -1-ROMPAQ is a PURE DOS executable, dont try to use it in windows environnement, everything is in the toolkit.
    -2- HPQFLASH patched allow flashing modified bios, Rom.sig , ver.sig are file signatures, useless with HPQFLASH patched.

    nota: I apologize if I did not put the latest hpqflash in this HP550 package. You'v used HPQFlash-4253_patched_new and that fix the problem of missing rom.sig ver.sig files.
    Can you report concerning SLIC table.

    That would be nice, really nice...
    It is not limited to downgrading, also upgrading a modded BIOS will not write to this area
