Hi everyone. Looks like there are just a few people working on the project? Anyway, we're working on an open source BIOS at the Advanced Computing Lab of Los Alamos National Lab in Los Alamos, NM (USA, http://www.acl.lanl.gov) for our Linux clusters. We have Linux booting from Linux and a few other things like that, and you seem to have started the project from the other end. As several of our workers are students (including me), most of our work will be over this summer.
Does anyone know where good "BIOS Writers' Guides" are? I know that Intel used to have these, but I can't find them now. In particular I am looking for some way to write a BIOS for a 440GX. Also, has anyone figured a way to recover or prevent bad BIOS flashes (using something like a BIOS emulator)? It would be nice if there were an easy way to make sure that the BIOS we write will work.
Thanks a lot, and I hope to be hearing from you.
