AFAIK, uniflash works under realmode right ? I've used award's winflash for quite sometime which is running from within protected mode windows. I'm planning to built a ROM flashing tool from Protected Mode too, but running from Linux (or is there already available ), I need some info on what I need to learn to do this ? my main concern is about expansion ROM flasher like the uniflash -PCIOR . Thx
Maybe you will find some useful information here.
Doesn't UF use "flat-realmode" (aka "UnRealmode")? I must have read it somewhere.
Porting it to PM wouldn't be such a hassle then, since memor access would be quite similar. You'd just have to go thru all realmode interrupt calls and create RM callbacks for them...
Cheers!

Yes, that's true.rbfowler9 wrote:Doesn't UF use "flat-realmode" (aka "UnRealmode")? I must have read it somewhere.
The flat real mode is easy to use (once someone else programmed all the basic things )
