Hello all!

Are there any MR. BIOS specialists among us?

The essence of the issue is that I have a DEC LPV Socket1 motherboard with a stock BIOS for it from DEC (which contains the video BIOS for the on-board S3 805 video card)
I tried running MR. BIOS 3.43 on this motherboard. This MR.BIOS is for the SIS 85C461 chipset, and it started perfectly if i disable the onboard graphics card and used a regular external ISA graphics card. Naturally, the on-board video card does not work due to the lack of video BIOS in this MR. BIOS variant
Is there an option to integrate video BIOS and place it in a single firmware?

For example, I'm attach the MR.BIOS for the INTEL TC430HX motherboard (TUCSON) contains (as far as I understand) the MR.BIOS itself, just above the recovery BIOS for firmware recovery and even higher than the actual video BIOS for the S3 TRIO64 graphics card
Is it possible to do something similar for my MR. BIOS + video BIOS for S3 805?
