BIOS edit: 2 years now



After blogging for almost 2 years now a very personal blob of mine. After all, this is a blog.... ? It's been 2 years since I started a project for modifying the BIOS of the eveyday workhorse called the KFN5DSLI. It's very much a boutique build and a very rare motherboard of which Asus quite possibly has a loss selling; yeah its an AMD Opteron board. Well, now due to the lack of BIOS updates and OCL option in that BIOS I started hacking the board and ended up creating OCL scripts for all motherboards based on the MCP55Pro chipset. Yeah, so it got outta hand :) Recently AMD released new Opteron revisions but ASUS never even hinted towards releasing any BIOS updates for the KFN motherboards, so I decided to go on the lone trail once again and insert special code into an existing BIOS to make it possible to run the newer chips into the motherboards.

And that I've known.... It takes a lot of time and a good setting to do this, and today I'm once again at it. As a maximum I spend 2 to 3 hours on this during weekdays.... for more then 3 months now on an intensified way.

Until now my score has been good; what I started ended in a satifying result, but this mod, like previous mods in 2007, haven't been done before but would be groundbreaking if succesfull.

Working on that then.
