I dumped the BIOS of my Palit Nvidia GTX480 card with the nvdump tool.
Not sure if its legal to post it online though. Will send the patches
when there's substantial progress.

The patch that I use is based on Weidong's pBAR==vBAR patch. From what
I hear it automatically remaps any vBAR access? I'm not familiar with
low level hardware architecture, so I'd need some prodding to
understand what's going on in the patched code.

So where do I modify them to fit my hardware?
