Enabling NVMe Support on Supermicro C7Z97-MF Motherboard

This article is very much:

    How to draw an owl:

    1.  Draw a big oval on your paper.  The owl will go inside this.

    2.  Draw the rest of the owl.

This article is not only useless, it's encouraging people with that same motherboard to potentially compromise their system by installing a completely unknown binary blob into their motherboard firmware. :(

I do understand your point, it might have been better to include the actual process of doing it, but what is done is done.

I did add the article link that I used to modify the blob itself at the bottom, so anyone more technical should be able to accomplish the same thing I did by modifying it them themselves.

Ahhh. So the article is finished and can't be changed. No worries.

> I did add ...

Huh? You just indicated you couldn't change it... but then you did?

*sigh*

What I mean is I haven't documented the process and meanwhile I was cleaning my Downloads folder which meant I've deleted the files I've used to modify the BIOS. The link for the guide was there from the start.

There is no need for passive aggressiveness.

Thanks :)
