Hello 
I am new to BIOS Modding.
I have dell vostro 1000 laptop which have Phoenix BIOS.
Latest version is A06 v2.6.3
http://downloads.dell.com/bios/WinVost263.EXE
It came with a DOS CD so there is no SLIC (I hope I got that right )
It's BIOS is very basic , with so little to tweak , not like the one I have seen in DELL Latitude D630 which had lots of options.
I needed to have WAKE UP timer with an option of hourly wake up to face power outage problem , to make it power on after power is restored.
Also a wake on LAN will be helpful , An auto Power ON feature would suffice for my purpose .
I tried a program called AutoPowerOn with no luck .
I downloaded PhoenixBiosEditor2.2.13 from your website.
Manged to extract ROM file from exe file above. (WinVost263.EXE /writeromfile)
then opened it .
There was a lot of tables with DATA which I had no clue how to edit safely to get what I wanted .
Now I have a question , is what I am asking for is possible ?!
If the answer was yes , Then how to do it ?!
Thank you
