Hi,

I just got a Compaq Presario 4540 from a friend (for free, so I guess I shouldn't complain :) and I would like some changes, like changing the logo and maybe some other things (try to add support for another CPU and a bigger harddisk).
I've read most articles in the advanced section here, but since this BIOS is using Phoenix, all AWARD/AMI utils and tips/tricks are 'worthless'!

Does anyone have more info about Phoenix utils and stuff like that, or am I stuck with what I have?

Thanks!

P.S. Does anyone know if it's possible to add the NCR/Symbios/LSI SCSI BIOS to this machine for my 53C810, or is that a no-go as well...? :(

The only thing you can do is download the latest available BIOS from Compaq (if any...).

Thanks. Yeah, I downloaded the latest BIOS from Compaq. I was just hoping to do some Phoenix BIOS hacking... too bad.
Looks like there's no tech info about those BIOSes floating around and their website doesn't have anything useful either :(

Have a look at the article I've written in this Discussion Board under:
