Well, this is a bit strange. First, I wanted to comment about your last problem with booting the red bios. Did you delete the bios or overwrite it? I am not sure how the chip is set up, but it might not have deleted the bios at all, rather just waits for you to overwrite it. I know some chips say something like "up to 1000 flashes" or something similar to that. Zeroing out a chip would waste a flash, although, 1000 times flashing the chip is probably not going to be reached.

Maybe someone othetr than myself could help you out, since I have not seen the Zenium OS at all. But, does the OS boot the Original bios, or is the chip disabled from the start? If the OS boots the bios, then you can probably change boot procedures in the OS settings. I dunno, that is all I got.

And to answer the topic, not without you knowing it. 1.6's don't have TSOP's to flash, and v1-1.5 require you to bridge 2 sets of points to disable the tsop flash protection.
