There are parts of the BIOS that contain device-specific details, like S/N, NIC MAC address, etc. You'd have to confirm that flashing a complete flash from the firmware upgrade package wouldn't overwrite them — their firmware software might only be updating specific sections of flash rom...

The tables are kinda turning for us here in the EU, it used to be that all my friends asked me to bring electronics from the US when I lived there. Couple years from now and our American friends will be smuggling things from Europe :cool: Thanks, I will much appreciate it!

Snap, no idea how I missed that. Thanks!

Well I have some good news for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/s/U4s3vADXue

It's the same BIOS: whether or not system shows as NEC or Lenovo is decided by the resistors on the mainboard. So it's unlikely those sticks would work in Lenovo setup, considering it's the same BIOS — it even has both BIOS logos embedded.

The m75q gen1/2 (and likely newer, too), have a room for their PCI slot connector, but it's unpopulated. Considering that it's already known how to add an extra m2 slot and so many actually did, I wonder if anyone tried soldering a PCI slot connector, too? This would make it a very interesting...

@Phence care to chime in, please?

Is this offer even up online still? The link redirects to the mainpage, the only other Micron 5100 Pro listed on there are 1.92tb.

I am guessing the firmware updater made a backup of the flash — if so, I am guessing it would be saved in the EFI partition or on the USB flash drive, depending on what you used to flash it. If it is there, then you need ch341a programmer and it's a quick fix to flash it back.

I am gonna answer myself here: coreboot has nothing to do with it, it's down to ACS not being supported by Intel consumer CPUs. However, there's a potential of using PCH lane here, see: An opportunity to fix IOMMU grouping here for PCI devices · Issue #19 · j4cbo/tiny5-m2-riser With this riser...

Would be cool if prefixes were also supported, like e.g. &prefix_id=1 for Great Deals in EU only. Unfortunately, https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?forums/great-deals.8/index.rss&prefix_id=1 has no effect, and apparently it's broken upstream since 2022: Not a bug - Prefixes Specified in...

Anyone within EU bot not Germany tried ordering and successfully applied TECHNIK2025 coupon? I get that a lot with them, even if I choose to ship to Germany (but my account is registered elsewhere in EU).

Thanks. Regarding the Mini board, there's a whole thread about it somewhere on this forum, you'll be able to find it.
