Now we just need a "Asus ModBin" release.


PS:
Is there someone who is able to unhide all nenues/nptions/values/settings in the HP BIOS file, mentioned above?

Apple, are you able to do this?


Or have I to extract the necessary modules and build a temporary BIOS file which is compatible with "MODBIN6 2.00.00 (03/20)"?

After modification I maybe can replace the modified "BIOS-Setup"-module from the temporary BIOS file
with the module in the special Asus BIOS file (HP Pavilion a335w BIOS).
Would this method be possible or would it work at all?
