Hello@all,
I used a modified version of Modfeakz’s Batch Script for his GA-MA790FXT-UD5P (see post) to insert and replace rom modules.
All bios files (build bioses 7z.zip) were flashed with the bios built-in Qflash Utility. When I encountered a boot failure for a BIOS with a modified AHCI / RAID rom, a “clear CMOS” resolved it.
All files needed to reproduce the modded bioses are included in the attached archive ‘GA-MA78G-DS3H Rev2.0 BIOS mod Batch Script.zip’. A spreadsheet (build_info.ods) with a tabular version of the modding results is also attached.
