Isn't that the *same* as the R4xxxM3 but it shipped with Windows 7 laptops?

So I'm guessing we can flash our Z3/Z4 with this Z5 BIOS, right? But I suppose this hasn't been modded to have SLIC 2.1. If it hasn't, hope someone with the knowledge would mod SLIC 2.1 into it.



Edit: On second thought... it might already have SLIC 2.1... since Z5s are natively running Win 7, which requires SLIC 2.1.

How did you unlock the advanced menu?

Yes, it has the SLIC 2.1.

@cosmok: Like we do with the other BIOS. But in order to do the EFI boot, we need to disconnect the HD and the DVD.
