looking for AMI BIOS structure and tools

[maman]

Since I've just barely working on AMI BIOS, I'd like to know the related tools.

All I know as follows:
- AMIBCP in AMIBIOS is comparable to Modbin in Award BIOS (is this right?)
- The bootblock for both resides in the "relatively" the same address space

ok, that's all I know and I would like to know these :
- where can I found info about AMI BIOS file structure (if available), especially the compression scheme they use (the "counterpart" of LZH in Award bios)
- is there any tools beside AMIBCP ?
Feedback really needed, and thx in advance for any info

BIOS patcher uses AMIBCP so I doubt there are any better tools avaliable for AMI. I have also read about a tool called amimm.exe but never used it.

A couple of years ago I remember using another tool called BCPCMD which I believe (if I recall correctly) was AMI's equivalent of AWARD's cbrom. I'm on holidays right now till the 16th of August, so I won't get a chance to find that file till I get home. If you want to try it out, don't forget to send me an email on the 15th or so.

I've placed on my website www.ruisch.tk a bit general info about the modules in AMIBIOS (V6.X,7.X and 8 ). Maybe it's usefull for you...
