I am however at that point. My first question is that I'm looking at, 0xC7345="TVGA BIOS Z6.I1 (0.02)" #IBM Thinkpad 760ED (U9A) 0xC7367="TVGA BIOS Z6.I1 (0.05) " #IBM Thinkpad 560E so how do I pick that first ID string? Also from looking at the previous dump it looks like I should use a match string like, 0xC????="Z6.I1" #Should be 760/560 compatible in general #or is there something non-arbitrary about #the identifier outside of unique #identifier for each type of chip/card? I was going to take the 760 listing and reduce it to the one I suggested. I figure it can't kill anything and I can always put it back. ____________________________________________________________________ Before a larger group can see the virtue of an idea, a smaller group must first understand it.
