The DoC problem

[Jan Kok]

Hamish, what would you use for a plug to plug into the BIOS socket?  I
searched all over the place for a plug (or PLCC to DIP adapter for DoC) and
didn't find anything useful for less than about $60 small quantity -- except
for the Bios Savior device (about $30 from www.mwave.com).
