Anyone have experience with BIOS PATCHER and an HP Pavilion 9680c PIII650/ASUS/Award/Slot-1?I'm trying to make a Tualatin Slot-1 adapter work with this system, however all I get is a blank screen. Esupport(the seller) hasn't been much help. 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 whoever got it to work used the Byelarusian's BIOS PATCHER http://www.rom.by - which I have downloaded - all four components of. 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. I've tried different features of the Award flasher but I think there must be something wrong with the resulting binary from the patcher program.
Here are the system specs ...

If anyone knows of a related thread, please refer me to it. The BIOS Patcher forum only seems to be in Russian.
Thanks,
