Hey all,
Well as a result of projects unrelated to Macs, ive managed to get a fair amount of SMD soldering experience. Im confident I'd be able to swap out one of the EPROM chips on the various SATA cards floating around out there with one that will play nice with firmtek bios. Im curious though, if once you have soldered on a new, blank chip onto a card, is there any kind of special process you need to follow before trying to flash it on a PC? Im just wondering if the PC is going to squawk if you boot it up with a card with no firmware on it.
