BIG NEWS!

I Got the Ivy Bridge Xeon E3-1225 V2 to post.
using a modded version of the E7728MLN.209 With the Intel ME updated to 8.1
i created this image in Intel Flash Image Tool 8.1.40.1456
By increasing the Bios size to 8 MB i could replace the E7728MLN.209 with the
M7728W08.40E as the bios region binary.
Version M7728W08.40E on a 8MB chip running!

This is the full bios image, but not final!

This ofcourse required a replacement of the onboard bios chip
Therefor i desoldered the chip (to make a full dump of it to mod) soldered on a DIP8 Socket reinforced it with some epoxy.
And flashed the Winbond 25Q64FV (8MB 3Volt SPI Flash chip) with the aforementioned bios image....
And voila! it was running.

You could naturally just replace the chip with Winbond 25Q64FV in a SOIC8 package instead, if you dont want to epoxy stuff to your board.

As mentioned the linked image is not final, as i did not successfully unlock the hidden menus
and i couldnt boot into windows (probably because the device selection didnt take)

I will return!
