The new URL is: Pinczakko's Guide to Award BIOS Reverse Engineering.
I have redirected the old page in Geocities into the new page.

Anyway, dear moderator(s), if you don't mind, please update the URL in the

I have made an article on how to hack original.tmp a.k.a system bios in my website here: http://www.geocities.com/mamanzip/Articles/AdvancedBiosModGuide/Advanced_Bios_Hacking.html. Hopefully can be useful for some of you who might need it. I know that the some of us think this is just an easy hack, but I think some "newbie" might found it useful somehow :D. Thx

There's an opensource tool here: http://awdbedit.sourceforge.net/. This might help. Goodluck :D
