Thanks for the tip. Yep, I looked through the entire 256K with
'hexedit'. Then I edited the output of 'strings' and ended up with less
than 1K of recognizable text. This is an SMBIOS from AMI if that makes
any difference. BTW to get the ROM to disk, I used the program that
would update the flash ROM, only I used the "save current ROM to disk
file" command instead.
