DoC on EPIA-M with DIP2PLCC adapter -- instead of 256kbyte bios chip

[Niki Waibel]

hi,

my plan is still to use a DoC 2000 on an EPIA-M mobo
with a DIP2PLCC adapter -- instead of the original
256kbyte (PLCC) bios chip.

can anyone tell me if this is theoretically possible?

that won't work, as the 2000 does not have an addressable boot block like 
the 2001.

what is the exact type i need for that?
does that 2001 fit into a DIP socket?

on the m-systems website:
http://www.m-sys.com/Content/Products/DiskOnChip.asp
there is only the DiskOnChip 2000 which is in a
DIP socket.
are you really sure that that type would not work
in the bios?

is it the 8mbyte DoC millennium (not millennium plus)
which would work (MD2800-D08) and which you call 2001?

could you explain why a DiskOnChip2000 (ie MD-2202-D128-V3)
cannot be used as bios chip?
