Hello
I have a Notebook Model 665 (SONY) , with a Phoenix Bios 4.0 Release 6.0, licensed to Intel.Bios date is 01/21/99, rom size = 256K and chipset is Intel 440BX/ZX rev 2.I tried to save bios with a utility (named bios 1.35.1) and put the saved bios on http://bora.ai.com.tr/BIOS.SAV
Bios has the option to boot from cd, but it doesn't work, I tried every bootable cd.Please, if you can patch or fix it, I will be very glad.You can send it to bora@ai.com.tr or hypersomnia@gmail.com
Thanks

Not all BIOS's correctly support the CD boot feature.

I tried it, it didn't help.The floppy drive has a mechanical problem, and I can't boot from both devices.
I want to learn if this bios can be patched for this boot problem.
Thanks
