Are you referring to (as the first line doesn't say much): Product Name: NF7-S/NF7,NF7-V (nVidia-nForce2) Version: 2.X,1.0 Seems pretty much OK, though I don't understand, why 1.0 is in the Version string. Durthermore I don't understand, why "Phoenix" appears as bios vendor. It should be Award, AFAIK. > I'm interested only in the latest BIOS -- if it is still broken. It is the latest (d23). And I guess it is broken, as without your patch the timer gets connected to XT-PIC. > The assumption is that if a fixed BIOS is available, the users > should upgrade. Well, I posted in Abit's Forum, but I don't know whether it will have an effect. bye, Prakash --------------070500070406090407090906 Content-Type: text/plain; name="dmiabitnf7sv2d23apic.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="dmiabitnf7sv2d23apic.txt" # dmidecode 2.3 SMBIOS 2.2 present. 37 structures occupying 981 bytes.
