Hello everybody,

Thanks for any info!

There may be, but usually it never works with all the different types of
BIOSs out there.

If you have a digital camera, you can put it on a steady surface, turn
off the flash and then take pictures of each BIOS screen. Next, use your
favorite graphics editor (for instance, Photofiltre at
http://www.photofiltre.com) to convert the images to black and white,
then reverse the images so that they're black text on a white background
and either save the images to a CD or print them out.

This is what I did, and it works very well.

If you have a printer connected to the parallel port, you can usually
use the print-screen button to print the pages while viewing them.

I tried this program now. It saves settings to txt file, or dumps all
content to a file, but neither is readable by humans. I tried the info
function too, gives very little info about the maker of the bios,
version, date, etc..
I had another bios program, bios-wizard, and tried that too, it didn't
give info about settings either.

Problem still unsolved, if we are looking for human readable info on
settings.

It sounded good, because we think that it's readable when we hear the
words text file, but the author of bios meant the file format he saved
data to, obviously.
