30362 2002-01-08 22:56:00 For those wanting to experiment with re-programming the bios chip, or putting your own personalised boot up logo on screen, there is a plug-in bios chip called Bios Savior. Your original bios chip plugs piggy-back in to the Savior, and a switch enables choice between the 2 bioses.
This device enables safe bios flashing, and also protection against virus corruption of the bios, ie you can switch to an uncorrupted bios to boot, and then flash the bad one.
Their are lots of possibilities.

For details look at:

I must point out this gadget is not that cheap, and not for the faint hearted.

I'd suggest that this would be a better URL to try:

www.eksitdata.com

of course, all you needed to do to find that was read the first couple of lines...

Just another comment, there is no software supplied with the Bios Savior, to change logos etc there are programs like cbrom(x).exe, modbin.exe, bmp2epa.exe, which can be found by searching sites relating to bios information.
