    Ok driving myself bonkers. How to you flash just the 2MB BIOS file, not 2.3MB one?

    So it seems a lot of the BIOS updates for Alienware are the 2.3MB file which has flash interface descriptor. How do you flash the 2MB file? I.e. W6702MB vs W6702M

    Update: Ok well I guess you can edit the M file at offset 40000h and drop in the different regions you desire. Descriptor, ME, Gbe etc.
