    Any ETA on the new Mega BIOS pack? I'm using this pack often, so I'm waiting for the new pack....

    except that we don't all use windows hosts.

    It may be better for some. Not if you use linux or esxi hosts.

    I agree completely. I would like to be able to do this. Can you provide a link to "Andy's Phoenix tool 1.51"? All I can find are AMI or award tools, and I don't think they will work with vmware's phoenix bios.

    I've successfully extracted the bios440.rom object from the vmware executable for 64-bit linux workstation, but I've been unsuccessful so far at modifying it to present the ASUS SLP 1.0 bios strings.

    Is there a way to compare, say, the ASUS 3.14 SLP 1.0 bios in the megapack with what I have and see what I need to modify? or is that an impractical task?

    It would be great to be able to be able to modify the bios myself.

    Does not if you try to install Win8

    You just replace NEW with OLD BIOS
