Yes, in both cases (tool created & PBE) all the modules ARE identical (ofcourse), the order is the same, but the ACPI2.MOD location It seems that the tool has absolutely no problems with inserting SLIC only into plain original Vmware BIOS (and that BIOS works fine!)

You have renamed the original method to module. Isn't it still the prepare / Catenate method of PBE? You just would have to pause to allow the SLP modification....maybe I have missed something...
Yes, I CAN select option to allow the modification of any module & do that in hex, but the module will NOT recompress & process fails Best description is in post #990 sebus
Does anyone have a copy of this tested D600_A16_SLIC.EXE enabling SLIC 2.1 on the DELL Latitude D600? I'm searching but cannot find it. Thanks ....
You obviously haven't worked on many ASRock motherboards most of them Cannot be recovered it was actually removed from the bios
