ok.. I assume you can do it on all epia boards..

Remember if you f*** it up.. you will have a dead board.

The first thing I did was download the latest bios from epias website for my board and the awdflash util as well.

Then I went to http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/awbmtools.shtml and got his conversion tools.

I then created a 640x480 image in photoshop.. (keeping it small for size reasons)
changed the image mode to index, and saved it as a .tif then I used his tools to convert it into a logo.bmp.. If you dont get a logo.bmp when you try and convert your tif must not be saved right.

I then downloaded CBROM215 from http://www.stormpages.com/crazyape/cbrom.html

I used this then to put the logo.bmp into the bios file.

thats about it really. I was very carefull not to make ANY mistakes and went over it twice just to make sure. I also used the AWDMOD from http://sourceforge.net/projects/awardmod/ to make sure it all looked right before I flash it... I cant stress strongly enough that this file MUST be right, otherwise its a dead board time.. not good.

If you need any more info let me know

cheers

Steve
