easy to fix with a donor pcb and regenerated bios

WD Marvell is enough for a fix + a new pcb ofcourse.

The last time I tried to help someone with this problem, I found that the demo version of WDMarvel produced a corrupt ROM. Instead, I wrote my own tool.

was working with a 30 Y.O IT tech from a MSP last week, that had never heard of the wayback machine. It is like a mechanic that has never heard of Sidchrome... I mean, what??
