IDE capture card BIOS SS

[Eldonko]

Hey guys, maybe someone here can tell me if this is possible. I used to do BIOS screenshots using a IDE controller card with code required to make SS flashed in place of the bios. Basically you just hit print screen and it write the screenshot to floppy. Problem is boards dont have ide anymore or floppy so I cant do it. I got a ide to sata adapter so the card should work but it is programmed to write to floppy and I have nothing to connect a floppy to.

Any idea of a work around?

cheers

You could use something like this with a second PC, but it's an expensive solution - VGA grabber costs 300 $ and DVI version costs 1000$ .

I'm a lil confused to what significance the 2 items u pictured, have in reference to a floppy drive

[Eldonko]

G.Foyle yeah that is what Im trying to avoid, big $$ of grabber.

tiro_uspsss the ide card is flashed with code that takes a SS and copys to floppy. Problem is no floppy. The code was created 5 years ago before the time of usb drives and such

ASRock offers SS on bios by pressing F12 with last bios.
Request Gigabyte, if ASRock can do it Gigabyte too

I may pick up a usb floppy drive and see if that works. Pretty sure gigabyte is not going to develop a util for me to do a SS heh

maybe when Gigabyte goes UEFI on bioses ?

Not only for you dude but for the community

It's a nice feature (a little gimmick, right) and hope Gigabyte will do it
