Hi all,
There is a book regarding BIOS disassembly (reverse engineering) subject right now. You may want to check it out:

http://www.amazon.com/BIOS-Dis.....1931769605

Perhaps this book will enlighten you in the detail of BIOS reverse engineering. I don't mean to advertise it here. It's just to help out those who wants to know about it in detail. It may be pretty tough to understand for those not proficient enough in assembly language.

greetz,
Pinczakko

PS: There should be a Russian version of the book. I'll ask Natalia Tarkova (my chief editor) about it because it's mentioned in the book writing contract. I think the people at BHV Publishing (www.bhv.ru) currently working on it if it's not yet done.

My greetings! I'm so happy that you have published your first book I hope that in future there will be more good manuals and articles about BIOS reverse-engineering.

Hi Icbook,
I can't promise about it right now because I will retain one of the copy, and the other one will be sent to my parents. I will try to get another for rom.by if I can (I think I will be able to do that). The book is in short supply right now, so I think I will need some more time. In the mean time, perhaps you can PM-me the mailing address --> just in case

I have confirmed about the Russian version of the Book to my publisher. The translation has been finished and they said that it will be published in July-August 2007 time frame. I think it should be available in stores in August . Ofcourse, in Russian-speaking countries

Да вроде ничего, есть недочеты, конечно, но "ужаса" я не заметил...

О "вообще". Да, явно видны уши перевода (англоязычное построение фраз и попытки дословного перевода), но для технической литературы считаю это приемлемым.

The one who did the translation was Olga Kokoreva (IIRC). From my experience working with her, I know that she's quite knowledgeable. Nonetheless, comparing to articles here at rom.by or ixbt.com, it is much easier to understand those articles than the sample chapter of the book . Even though my Russian is so bad, even I could tell the difference

Anyway, looking at the page count, it seems that the Russian version is a bit more elaborate (maybe closer to my original manuscript) than the English version because quite a lot of things has been moved to the CD-ROM in the English version due to sheer page count.

Olga Kokoreva , читал, занудно, бездарно, пишет много, но практических знаний не получаешь. В общем типичный образчик советского стиля написания научно-технической литературы.

Не отказался бы от английского текста, на халяву конечно

Я имел в виду текст в электронном виде, а книга на халяву уже не получается, за нее платить надо.
Мне эта книга в общем-то не очень нужна, так, для любопытства, Шоб бУло Биосоковыряние - не моя стезя

[Vyacheslav]

У Интел есть не плохая книжка, она конечно не по ковырянию, но хорошо описывает работу EFI BIOS http://www.intel.com/intelpress/sum_efi.htm
