No the check is built into the BIOS.
To be fair to Hanaho, the PC keyboard interface is a really quirky thing to deal with. It would probably be necessary for them to acquire one of the offending boards to test with and modify their code accordingly. Like anything in the PC world, compatibility is a real problem.

: : The boot problem is probably because the Hotrod is not sending an "Ack" reply to one or more of the commands that are sent to it at boot time. Most M/B don't mind not getting the ack's but some do and just stop booting.
: : The beeps while in use also suggest the Hotrod is not responding to commands such as "re-send".
: So is there a way to disable these checks?
: And would the error also have the knock-on effect of making the thru-port disabled after Windows has booted?
: John King..
: Thanks for all the help.
