-Motherboard : NEC Versa S5600-2409drc
-Bios Revision : 1.0E (Current)
-Bios Type : AMI 8.0
-Bios SLIC : 2.1
-Bios Link : For the life of me, it seems that NEC has died and don't offer anymore downloads for legacy notebooks. i found a couple on some chinese forums
http://bbs.gaodi.net/bios-Firmware-11766-1-1.html
http://bbs.gaodi.net/bios-Firmware-10042-1-1.html
but i'm not sure if they're the right ones for my notebook. not to mention that it's a chinese site and i have troubles navigating + to download it requires logging in/registration.
i tried to save the current bios using afuwin
then i tried to mod using andyp's ami tool
