Ok... Good news and bad news..

Bad news first: The version of the bios you have is 01h... not 02h... and it doesn't let you change the Video ram size...

Good News: USB and PCMCIA do work in LINUX!!

How to apply: Create a dos bootable floppy ( Set it up to not load anything!! Clean boot ) Rename the fla****.ex_ to fla****.exe, and copy it, and the BIOS.ROM to the floppy drive.

Boot up from the floppy drive
Once you get the A:\> prompt...
type this:

fla**** BIOS.ROM /a

Once this finishes... I had to remove the battery and power supply to get the laptop to shut off. First time trying to power it failed.. ( I did panic a little here.. ) Removed battery and power supply again..

This time, I just applied the battery, and pressed the power button..

Shazaam! Averetec Splash LOGO..
Press F2 and reconfigure the Bios to your liking..
