Moin,
under the "BIOS" part was mentioned a tool for flashing biosses.
There is such a thing in development: The /dev/bios project ->
http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~stepan/bios/
for the linux kernel. With an older version I was able to flash the bios
of some older socket7 intel vx mainboards. Unfortunately it does not
compile for the 2.4.X kernel series at the moment. It does not work with
relatively new chipsets and biosses greater than 256kByte. It would
improve the efficiency of my work, if I had such a tool for linux, because
I have no diskdrives installed on about 300 X terminals :-)
I mailed the guy some weeks ago, but he is working on porting SuSE-linux
to axp (?) platform. Maybe if some more people asking him for this tool he
gives some more efforts to this project :-)
So long,
Dirk
