Thats it, so if I have a spare, can I use it to boot in DOS then change it 
to restore the one modified? (.. I guess yes)

what's the 812? is that sis 730? I have 810 lmr working in the lab but

yes, 812 is sis 730 (almost the same as 810 but with AT power connector).
Would you give me brief steps so I can try linuxbios on it and try to write 
a howto (as you mentioned, howto number 2)?

thanks ron
