Motherboard BIOS has... CREDITS?!?!

[jonnyGURU]

I have a buddy that I used to work with at TCWO that now works at Sunnytech. I'm too busy to build PC's sometimes, so I had Sunnytech build a few for me. They primarily use AOpen product. I love the cases. They're well made and have either Sparkle or FSP power supplies. I love the optical drives. But the AOpen motherboards he was using sucked. I had been using Biostar or MSI boards. He couldn't get Biostar or the model MSI I used. The AOpen had SATA RAID, but no RAID BIOS, so I couldn't create an array or mirror a drive at the BIOS level. And an on-board NIC died on one of the machines. And two of the 2000 installs suddenly quit bootng one week after being on-site! I never had that problem with my builds!

After a while, I decided to give Sunnytech another chance. My friend had called me up and said that he had another AOpen board that he didn't have reservations selling to me. I tried them out and they looked good. The RAID controller had a BIOS, and so far all of the on-board peripherals seem to work fine.

But in the BIOS, I saw something that I had never seen before... not even in previous AOpen boards....

Credits?!?!

There were credits for motherboard design, engineering, etc... A whole list of staff that was involved in the engineering of the motherboard! Has anyone ever seen this before? I have to admit it's pretty cool. I mean, it doesn't necessarily make the board any BETTER, but it definitely gives it some personality.

BIOS Easter Egg?

No. If you go to the bottom of the right column in the BIOS setup, which uses a standard Award Modular BIOS, it says "Credits." I was like, "WTF?!" and hit enter on it and there was a thing that said something like, "We'd like to thank all of the hard work...." and had a list of names!
