Good God !!! and Good Luck !!! :-) Read this when you give up and decide to buy a programer: To be in fashion, you will need a programer that does the C0X0-90 or faster (ie.,C020) family of cmos eeproms. You will also need an asembler (that can handle 2 megs of code) to translate your code into a hex file. But first you will have to de- assemble the code in your eeprom in order to edit it, unless your bios manufacturer will give you the source code. I dont think they would do that but Im not sure. IO devices makes excellant programmers. Or you could get a hold of the program that updates your bios and hack it. That might be easier and cheaper.
