Abit ST6, which will be in my hands in a few days, posts "bios rom checksum error" and asks for a floppy disk. I do not have a drive or a floppy disk. My (rather stupid) idea:
- boot up another working system (ie, Asus A7N8X) and log in to the windows
- remove bios chip when computer is on (!*)
- insert bios chip from ST6
- try to flash ST6 bios in windows, then immediately turn off pc and remove chip
*Aside from it's rather dangerous, the first thing I need to know is if the rom is only read during bootup? If so, such an operation could be successful. All I would have to do is use a windows utility that doesn't give me bad checksum errors.
