Thanks for this fantastic forum!!! I found modded BIOS's for all of my systems here, but the final "machine" I want to work with SLIC 2.1 is my VMware ESX Server to have the 2.1 SLIC. I know there has been a (Binbin) BIOS around somewhere but that one doesn't work with Version 7 VM's and only has the 2.0 SLIC. In the past (for Vista and W2K8) I've used the tutorial to put in the _ASUS_Notebook SLIC 2.0 which worked like a charm. I used the most recent BIOS included in VMware Workstation 6.5. It seems however, that this tut doesn't work anymore for SLIC 2.1. I would like to try and mod this BIOS myself, but if someone could put me in the right direction that would be great. What I've done so far: I've used the instructions in the tutorial and modified the SLIC to match "DELL " and "M09 " I've copied the DELL.BIN to the TEMP folder of the Phoenix BIOS editor. I've modified the ROM.SCR I modified a DMI string (replaced "VMware Inc." to "VMware Inc" I have built the BIOS I put in the "bios440.filename" option, and I CAN see SLIC inside ACPI when I run RW-Everything. The original BIOS doesn't show that tab. I have installed both the OEM key and the DELL cert. It still says "28 days to activate" I know there is a Phoenix topic on this forum, but it is closed, so that's why I'm posting it here. Hope someone is able to help me out here. Thanks a million.
i have downloaded it for a while and store it on my hdd. i think someone has extracted the rom file from vmware workstation and did it with phoenix bios editor pro.
Thank you. The file also works with VMWare Fusion 4.1.2 on Mac OSX. I could activate WIndows 7 x64 without any problem.
