BIOS versions?

[Peter Kalbus <peteka@pep-kaufbeuren.de>]

Hallo,

we want to bring up a new system slot cpu
on base of socket 7 processors. These
cpu will mostly have standard coponents
and some special enhansements.

For these cpu we will integrate our own bios
on base of a standard bios (e.g.: AMI, Award
or Phoenix).

My question is, which bios is the best
soloution for this project. Main aspects
of may questions are costs for a
sources licence, code quality of the
source code for adding features, time
to market for new standard components
and update policy for the source code.

Thank you for your answer
