hard to get excited about MCE when...
...the beta won't support xenium or loopback drives.
Let me know when they add non-direct-flashable bios support
and alternatives to the native 'f' install. If a native drive is required,
I really hope they'll add 'g' drive support...

in theory you could probably take a 256k cheapmod or aladdin and do the installation, then when MC is installed you could take off the 256chip, install the xenium, boot to whatever dashboard you use, hotswap the xenium for the 256k chip, back it up then take the bios image you just backed up and flash it to one of your free banks on the xenium.
But like I said it's a theory.

or under windows you should be able to just copy the file twice
copy bios.bin+bios.bin 512k.bin
but I just tried it and it didn't work (that's windows for you)
So under Windows I recommed either use the xecuter bios manager (works fine for me) or install cygwin (always useful anyway) and do it with cat as Shallax described.

If you keep an open mind, will your brain fall out?

problem is that the installer just exits if it can't flash the bios, and raincoat can't flash the smartXX.
Although the Xecutor lite doesn't support 256k bios raincoat thinks it has flashed the chip, and carrys on installing, you can then flash the chip later.
