==analyse BIOS== With the following command you are able to get some BIOS-versions or other interesting string from your bios. dd if=/dev/mem bs=1k skip=768 count=256 2>/dev/null | strings -n 8 This command reads the complete memory from X:0000 to F:FFFF. This includes on most PCs the graphic card, mainboard and IDE/SCSI controller. Only risk:
Some ISA cards which are in that memory region might react on the reading of the memory. But this happens only rarely.
