Bios f34 is sp31537.exe @ http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp31501-32000/sp31537.exe

Hello. As some of you know I'm an enthusiast of the Pavilion zd8000, it's a weird laptop that actually uses a 775 socket and has some pretty neat video card options. I recently found out there's a spot where a SATA port could've been soldered to on this board, and looking at the schematics, all the passives for it and circuitry it goes to is in place. The only thing left to do is to actually solder the port, and to also unlock the hidden BIOS settings so I can test its functionality. I know I've been posting a lot here lately but I'm willing to help provide whatever information is necessary, and I would love to see if anyone could help unlock it. It would mean a lot to me. If i'm not mistaken, it's somewhere in the template files, but I don't know where and what to do with it. It's a typical Phoenix cME BIOS (unfortunately).

If you need me to provide any other info I will do just that. Thanks in advance.
Also, here's the link to the original sp31537 BIOS: https://ftp.zx.net.nz/pub/archive/ftp.co...p31537.exe

Please specify which settings you need to add. Strings with colon ":" at the end represent toggles. Other strings may be either info fields or titles for not compiled menus.

Anything under the lines of:
"Serial ATA"
"Plug and Play OS"
"Hardware Monitor"
"SpeedStep"
"Virtualization Technology"
"IRQ Settings" or anything along the lines of that

I don't guarantee all of those are there but that's what I have on my mind.

I did not find anything in the 3082F34.M24 file except Serial ATA. But the string is not used in setup utility.
SpeedStep enable function found in MOD_5100.ROM module.
