I think Data_4.bin is the Video Bios. I'll document what I think each one is later. But it includes various other BIOS extensions.

Nothing major...

I'm just playing around with some customized boot up graphics. Mostly playing around.

For those, who want to run/program their own application, before any operating system starts, you should check this link:

http://bnobtc.pix-art.com/nasm.rar

It contains the "Farbrausch Demo Source as PCI/ISA extension ROM"
(based on this: http://www.farb-rausch.com/fr-016b.zip)

The compiled extension ROM has to be configured as ISA extension ROM with the help of "BROMCFG".
After configuration, you can add the ISA extension ROM to the VMware BIOS.
