Hamish, what would you use for a plug to plug into the BIOS socket? I searched all over the place for a plug (or PLCC to DIP adapter for DoC) and didn't find anything useful for less than about $60 small quantity -- except for the Bios Savior device (about $30 from www.mwave.com).

I think the DoC mess is here to stay, there is one potential solution if people are insisting on having DoC, and that is to make up a little board which plugs into a BIOS socket which has both a 256k flash device and a little bit of decode logic for a DoC, as well as a DoC - if anyone is interested in this approach, I could knock together a few prototypes for a couple of $'s, but I have my reservations as to this being a permanent long-term solution for production systems.
