Enabling hidden BIOS options

[smn198]

I found a neat utility called AMIBCP. It allows you to enable options in the BIOS which the motherboard manufacturer or reseller has disabled. Anyone know if there is a version for motherboards with the AWARD BIOS?

smn 198,

Sorry I can't help you with the Award link, but I sure would appreciate it if you could linkify the AMI utility. Looks like just what I'm looking for.

I'll keep a look out for an Award link.

Thanks.

Heres to braver men than I

Hope you make it.

AMIBCP rom file enabler thingy

Just searching around the web some more for a Award BIOS version. ModBin looks like it may be useful but I bet its just another utilitry for adding a logo to the boot

Luckily I have a spare BIOS chip incase I break everything and apparently I can just take one out when it has booted and flash a spare one to whatever I want. A friend of mine did it.
