I flashed the bios on my debian pc (an old P266), but the new revision of bios didn't work. So, i used the same utility to read the previous bios i saved as a file. However, it refused to read it! (some stupid error message) Luckily, i did an alternative backup; i also copied the bios chip with an eprom programmer and restored it that way. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
