Zender or other Modded BIOS for T60 Please
Zender or other Modded BIOS for T60 Please
I really need a BIOS that is at the latest version that will unlock the whitelist for WiFi / WWAN cards and bonus points if it has an SLIC 2.1 table in it as well.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Zender or other Modded BIOS for T60 Please
Thank you, I will give it a try.
The real results will come tonight and in a couple days - I'll be upgrading the RAM and WiFi card in a couple days (~all parts ordered~), and do a test install of Windows 7 Ultimate tonight to verify the effectiveness of the SLIC table.
For now, I will be running Fedora 27 Workstation :D (Because while 1.5GB RAM is sort of small, that is still on the large side for this machine.)

For anyone else, @madicetea was good enough to reup that BIOS, here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/vj7vdqd8 ... DOS%29.zip.

Re: Zender or other Modded BIOS for T60 Please
Are there any advantages of this BIOS compared to Zender's version? Possible extra features? I thought for T60 Zender's BIOS was the only available modded one.madicetea wrote: ↑Fri Apr 20, 2018 7:54 pmWhile Zender's BIOS works, I've found a more updated T60 BIOS from German ThinkWiki (actually that link was dead, but found a reupload of only the ROM file on the Korean ThinkWiki) and then repackaged it for use in a FreeDOS bootable USB drive (with most recent 16-bit DOS phlash executable).
PM me if anyone is interested.
They both remove whitelists and enable SLIC 2.1

Zender only unlocked the whitelist.
Re: Zender or other Modded BIOS for T60 Please
Will this BIOS work for a 2623-DAU model? (15" 4:3). Is it safe to use on Windows 10 or should I flash it on Windows XP?

It wasn't for a lack of trying, but I appreciate the updated link.

Will this one also put the win7 SLIC 2.1 table in the BIOS?

Any BIOS for a 15.4" T60p that'll do the same job? SILC 2.1 and (preferably, but not totally necessary) whitelist?

@RBS - you're saying that works for the 15.4" Widescreen T60p in addition to the T60?
Edit: It LL it does!

Re: Zender or other Modded BIOS for T60 Please
Thank you for this. I have an old T60, updated it to official 2.27 then flashed the mod BIOS from CD. Then I encountered:
Initializing Intel(R) Boot Agent GE v1.2.31
PXE-E05: The LAN adapter's configuation is corrupted or has not been initialized. The Boot Agent cannot continue.
ERROR
Expansion ROM not initialized - PCI on Motherboard
Bus:00, Device: 00, Function: 00
I tried to follow various online solutions but they all refer to the deprecated IBAUTIL found in downloads of too-old versions of PREBOOT that Intel no longer provides.
I downloaded Version 22.10 of PREBOOT and copied the BootUtil directory into a Bootable DOS Flash Drive created with Rufus.
Then navigated in DOS to C:\BOOTUTIL\DOS and ran BOOTUTIL -DEFCFG -ALL.
This resolved the issue.
