Comment (by johannesobermayr@…):
First I wrote to Fujitsu and asked whether they want support by answering your questions here.
Their answer was: they need an ID of my system.
So I wrote to them: I do not believe that they support a 10 year old system, I do not have the ID by hand (system was 250 km away) and mentioned that my question was not a direct support request for a specific system.
I also mentioned they can also benefit when supporting flashrom or coreboot by providing some information (may even by NDA).
But as usual: I have not got an answer since then (~ 1.5 months).
So I can only dream: A day is coming all "bad" companies falling down from their high horse and providing their specifications.
Just for info: You can download a BIOS update file for a current System here: http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/download/ShowDescription.asp?SoftwareGUID=B64C...
May it has the same structure and reverse engineering is worth a try ...
Thanks in advance.
