Maybe a few other people would like to seed it as well?

Yep, that was me

I will remove the sticker to see what's underneath. Thanks for the offer, I'll let you know!

Hi cp, there's no special server chipset on the mainboard: http://www.linuxbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2007-December/027752.html I used Uniflash to make a backup of the BIOS, but it didn't recognise the chip. It did however write a 128kb binary file. I looked in the file and it's definately the BIO...

I might try running LinuxBIOS ( http://www.linuxbios.org ) on it, but I need a PLCC first to make a backup. Anyone knows where I can get a cheap PLCC in The Netherlands?

Hi, I also asked for help in the in-depth section ( http://www.wimsbios.com/phpBB2/topic9699.html ) but didn't get any response, so I try again here. The problem is that my Compaq ProLiant 1850R server (P3 500 Mhz, latest BIOS from Compaq) has only 1 IDE port on the mainboard. Connected to the port ...
