    @Kaspersky:

    Thx. I real respect to you too.



    --------



    The PDF version can be downloaded at:

    Award BIOS Code Injection



    Award BIOS Reverse Engineering. Unfortunately, this is older version and the one in the link in my first post above have been updated.



    Anyway, I think the HTML version is better for reading since you can use the link to go directly to the topics of interest .

    Sorry, I forgot to say that the article that has been translated to Russian is the: comprehensive guide to award bios reverse engineering.



    Anyway, I guess you all knew it :)

    I've just updated the Award BIOS Reverse Engineering article and added a new IDA Pro introduction section. Many people ask for it these last few months, so I decided to add them. For people used to IDA Pro, I guess it's not that interesting, but for newbie, it could be helpful.

    I've added another article:
    Pinczakko's Guide to Self-patching Expansion ROM Source Code

    This article explain how you can build an ISA expansion ROM with Fasm without having to take care of the checksum and let Fasm patch the checksum automatically in your expansion ROM source code. The technique is easily extended for PCI expansion ROM development. However, due to lack of time. I don't present it there. You can figure it out easily yourself ;)

    I am looking for BIOS patch to remove 32GB BIOS limit at LX chipset.
    What do you know about "Verifing DMI Pool Data" ?
    This message has come after Windows 95a setup.
    How to do remove it ?
    Tnx.
