A Learning Guide for Using Modbin6 for Award BIOS

[1234s282]

The only Dells that have an Award Bios that ive discovered are the Vostro 200 / 420 and the Inspiron 530/530s v1.0.18

modbin doesnt work with win7 64 bit

modbin works great if you copy it to the same win98 dos flash drive that you use to flash the new bios and run modbin from dos

modbin works in W95 compatibility mode under XP without any problem...

ROTFL, you guys are out of date. The version of modbin you are using is 16bit, so it is not going to work in 64bit, but the 32bit version modbin 2.04.03 works wonderfully

Need a link?

BTW, where IS the best place to get a copy of the latest modbin that works on 64-bit Windows? I haven't been able to find a working link.

This brings up an idea...
Maybe we can set up an article in the wiki to keep the neweset versions downloadable...
I have several tools, even modbin but all the 16bit stuff...
