 Probably.? I have both the original and the one (can't remember the name)
 with the CPLD on it.? Both worked well for me--and I modified the original
 to juggle the addressing bits to make the "Chuck mod".

 I've always used my own version of the BIOS; I've always felt that the
 more elaborate BIOSes, while interesting and reflecting a lot of work, were
 unnecessarily complicated.

 I"ll help if I can, but I haven't played much with the thing in a couple
 of years+.
