    Hi,

    which BIOS diagnostic card works in a T60? I've got a broken T60, which still beeps when RAM is removed, so I guess the BIOS isn't corrupt. I've tried a miniPCIe card, but it doesn't display any POST code. Will a parallel port card work, either on the Ultrabay Slim adapter or the port of a docking station or do I have to connec to the LPC bus directly to sniff port 80h accesses?

    Maybe anyone who has done a BIOS mod for T60 saw POST code outputs in the disassembler files?

    Thanks,
    jal2
