    Anyone still own a VP6??

    Ok you closet VP6ers......

    A recent discussion got me to wondering if anyone still has one. I have two. One is doing duty as a file and print server of sorts. The other is....get this....my Linux box. I have fan problems with them so they're not running. Its a lot quieter now though.

    I'll get to the R&R of the fans soon. I need to get back to playing with Linux.

    Also....on that note.....hey TC.....I just checked and vp6-board.com is still there, but the forums are still down. Any idea whats up with it?

          I'm currently putting together a VP6 file server for home use.

          How much RAM do you recommend?

                  by mr.malcom
                  Hello,

                  this is a very strange Problem:

                  Notebook hang instantly on Boot. BIOS is accesable.
                  Windows: instant after showing "loading circle", even Windows Boot Stick hang instant (even without installed SSD/NVME )
                  Linux: instantly (if Linux Boot in leagacy Mode with log messages: Machine Check exception after 0.25 sec)

                  i have tried:
                  - only one RAM Stick, another working RAM, both RAM channel
                  - BIOS Flash to newest Version F.50, BIOS Reset
                  - Memtest86 hang instant at Test 2
                  - HP UEFI Diagnostic wont find...

                  Requests to Intel Flash Programming Tool for Linux Ubuntu x86_64
                  by tsavpyn
                  Dear all,
                  I forgot my BIOS password of my Surface Pro 3, I searched for solutions for a long time and knew that by using FPT to dump my bios to bin file and using decryptor, I can get my BIOS password.
                  Now I have a problem that I am unable to dump my BIOS into bin file.

                  My Surface Pro 3 currently runs on Ubuntu 22.04, with Secure Boot enabled and Boot From SSD Only.

                  I searched for FPT but there is no Linux version and none of them work.
                  I hereby request a copy of Intel Flash Programming Tool for Linux x64.
                  I would really appreciate it if anyone...

                  MS Surface Book 3 - Keyboard works only in UEFI/Linux
                  by survivalbloke
                  This is a very weird issue which I'm having trouble finding a common thread.

                  The keyboard is registering keypresses in either the UEFI, or a live Linux USB environment - I used Ubuntu for testing. The keyboard backlight is lit.

                  The keyboard is registering keypresses in Windows or any Windows-related bootable device. For example, it does not work in Hirens Recue or a Windows 11 bootable installer.

                  When booted to Windows, not only is the keyboard not registering keypresses, but my USB keyboard is not either!

                  SPD reading/writing under Linux and/or Windows
                  by keepread
                  Hi all,
                  Where can I find the mysterious 'eeprom' kernel module that some use under Linux to read/write SPD?
                  I installed 'i2c-tools' and got 'decode-dimms' tool under Debian but not under Fedora, but both of them are missing the 'eeprom' module.
                  Also tried the SPD.exe tool from EVGA, which correctly lists all of the DIMM slots but reads zeroes from all of them.
                  Basically I need to dump SPD from some modules that were sold to me as DDR-1866 but are made of DDR-1600 chips, and they do not work. There is no access to RAM clock rate in the BIOS, so I am SOL unless I can rebin...
