But it may       be the other way around - speaking strictly about the (C)BIOS portion.       The T4 POST code is a direct evolution of the T3 POST (not surprising       since they use the same complex architecture, aside from the cache       subsystem and the obvious integration differences).              I'll need a dump of the flash image to find where exactly the Upg 66       fits in the FW family tree.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
