    You can also use ASUS - 2411858C.
    (Oembios.exe doesn't know about that set.)

    Every virtual machine has a configuration file whose name ends in .vmx.
    Edit this file with notepad and add a command to specify an alternate bios:
    bios440.filename = "VMWARE65_SLP1_MANY_SLIC_DELL.ROM".

    In the above example, the actual file name of the bios is VMWARE65_SLP1_MANY_SLIC_DELL.ROM and the bios file jhas been stored in the same subdirectory as the .vmx file. If it is not in the same subdirectory simply specify the fully qualified file name.

    Excellent, thanks a lot. Might just come handy especially that it also works great with ESX 3.5 U3

    Zort - Can you add the Dell SLIC 2.1 to your hacked VMware BIOS?

    The vmware bios didn't change from 6.51 to 6.52. I tried the bios with dell 2.1 slic that 911medic posted with Vmware Workstation 6.5.2 and it worked fine.
