Anyone have experience with BIOS PATCHER and an HP Pavilion 9680c?
I'm trying to make a Tualatin Slot-T (1) adapter work with this system, however all I get is a blank screen. I could have sworn someone from this board had successfully done it earlier this year, but the archives only go back to April.
I loaded the latest HP sourced AWARD BIOS 1.16 - but no dice ...
I remember they used the BIOS PATCHER - which I have downloaded - all four components. The problem is, that with the default settings, I get a file that is only 43K - the original BIOS is 256K. When I try to flash the BIOS using the resulting BIN file, the AWARD flasher says it is the incorrect size.
If anyone is bored - here are the system specs ...

Here are the motherboard jumper settings ... this is where I get lost;

If anyone knows of a related thread, please refer me to it - I'm about to return the upgrade kit, but I'm going to try a few more things in the next couple of days
