did anybody try out the new BIOS versions from Acer?

in their international support directory, under Desktops -> Aspire -> R3600 (internal name of the Revo) there's 2 new BIOS versions right now:

BIOS Acer BIOS for Linux R01.A1L 779.6 KB 2009/06/02

and

Download BIOS Acer BIOS R01.A1 805.4 KB 2009/06/02

frankly I have NO idea what the special thing is about the Linux BIOS (some speculate it's without SLIC), but as the previously posted (and removed) BIOS versions killed HDMI Audio (besides some other annoyances) and I had to go back to A0, I'm not into testing right now. also, the idiots from Acer don't document their BIOS revisions, so it's trial and error.

OpenElec Standalone --> Asus Chromebox 'Panther' --> Onkyo TX-NR709 --> Sony 55" X85C Android TV (also with Kodi!)
Asus Chromebox EZ Script
Kodi on Sony Bravia Android TVs
