Hi,
	I tried to commuicate with several board manufacturers about this
item / tool. PCChips never answered, gigabyte and asus weren't any helpful
and phoenix (owner of award) was rediculous: A marketing lady send me some
blabla but didn't even mention thats there a tool like "cbrom.exe" :-(

At the AMI website they write something about such a tool:
"Embed Utility - Allows OEMs to Embed Option ROMs into AMIBIOS"
But coudn't find anything for download ...

Ciao,
	Dirk
