Ok, like many before me I am going to venture on solving the 137GB barrier. I got one of these units a few days ago and this problem doesn't seem insurmountable.

I have some rudimentary questions that if anyone knows the answer to it would speed up this process.

1: Does anyone know where the bios is physically stored. I only found an Intel 28F016S5-120 chip which is a "Flash FileSystem" chip. I *think* that the bios is stored in a small portion of this.
2: Where can I get a copy of a bios upgrade. *Any* version would do for me.
3: Does anyone know if the bios is a proprietary one, or perhaps a stripped down award/phoenix bios?

Cheers
