Project: Building a universal flash adaptor.

I'm working on a cheap device with little to no hardware to flash chips. Here is what I've got as an idea and would appreciate any input. Take a piece of perf board or similar and put a wire-wrap 32pin socket into it. The point of the wire-wrap socket is the long wires will extend long enough to all...

HOWTO: Recycling old BIOS chips for NIC boot roms

I had an idea for a while but was never able to test it until now. My local used computer store has a big bin full of old motherboards for 2$ each. So I thought I could harvest the bios chips and flash them with boot proms. I tried and it worked! Here's what I did. Flash Chip : 29ee010 128KB 5V Flas...

Remove your memory modules. If you see a tag with that part number DP/N xxxxxx, then you can upgrade to a 1ghz Mobile Pentium 3 (in the uPGA2 package)

How-to > Bios hacks for Dell laptops to add upgrades.

The Latitude CP and CPiD have the same exact motherboard but the bios determines whether or not you can have a Pentium or Pentium II.
