Andy,
This MB BIOS chip in a socket......
Not soldered in, and its a common package this time. Intel's PLCC
Programmers can be bought for < $70 these days, not the $3k they use to be 20 years ago.
I still recall seeing it some where.
But like you said my mind is going.... and I can't recall exactly where, I do some digging.
During my initial shakedown, 2+ yrs ago. Has it been that long?????
I know for sure it pulls that info and refers to BIOS location.

Oh well, I guess I will blame it on my old age
As for SP3..... Maybe they fixed the USB printer option. Will have to give it another shoot. It took a lot longer to boot the snap than it did to download and apply the SP.
