BIOS Updates forum

semi, I am back at it again and this time I am trying your version 2. When I use the "Find Whitelist" button the window that opens does not show the Backward, OK, or Forward buttons. I can tab to get to them and enter works but that is not the best. I am not sure what shifting is needed for the "bes...

Sorry, my bad! The second error is due to not installing .Net. I did know better.

Progress?? Well it seems that ADDCC wants hex digits to be capital letters. That solved the crash problem. However now when I put in a string to correct the checksum the process completes but the checksum of the patched file and original file are still different. So I guess I need to keep trying dif...

Well, it could well be me. The first thing that I found is that I was using the ROM image from the boot floppy image. When I use the ROM file from the HPQFlash image I can get further. However when I get to the part in ADDCC where I enter the bytes for correction it crashes. I get that it has encoun...

semi,

I have read through you work and it is great. However is there a way to generalize the modification method? I have a nc8000 that I would like to put a Broadcom card into. The nc8000 uses the 68BAR bios and this does not work with your posted method.
