For that kind of money you can get a bios replacement chip from unicore. www.unicore.com Which probably is better and contains more functions that the mfg would provide. I have never had to pay the mfg for a bios burnable upgrade. Who is the motherboard mfg? I would like to know so I don't buy their motherboards in the future. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Thompson, Jimi Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 10:50 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Award BIOS Upgrade Fees - Slightly Offtopic I just encountered what I consider to be a totally outrageous problem. I've got a system with a BIOS issue. The motherboard maker has decided to use Award's BIOS and they want a minimum of $39.95 to email me the BIOS update that I need to fix the system. I thought I post here, even though it's a bit off topic to see if any of you have encountered anything similar and to see what you've done to resolve the issue. The system in question is loaded with FreeBSD.
