Hi John
Please use the linuxbios list for inquiries.
- Can you tell me which bios chip is enabled by each wire jumper? The
two wires are called #1 and #3 but which enables original bios and which enables new bios on plcc-32 socket? On your photograph you do not label the wires.
Sorry, i don't know anymore. If you find out, tell me :-).
- If I power on my PC without bios chip inserted into plcc-32 socket
can this damage the motherboard? Even if I enable the empty socket by accident?
I don't think so. I'm pretty confident that it won't do any harm.

I've attached a photo of my MB with PLCC socket soldered in place. The red wire, when shorted to ground, activates the original BIOS chip. The red wire is the one closest to the 10k resistor. Also, I've powered on my PC several times with an empty PLCC socket without any damage, just to confirm your findings. John ========

This installation is lovely (and the switch is really cleverly placed). I want my motherboard !
