Hello friends,

A couple months ago I posted a GTX 780 EFI ROM on here. I took it down after a dispute over who was the original owner of the ROM. Today, I looked back at the ROM and took a look at how it was stitched together. Absolutely no promises, but I think I can make a patch that will convert a stock 700 series Kepler ROM into a Mac EFI ROM based on the observations I made. I have a patch file of the original ROM and the modded ROM. This would allow someone to create the file I uploaded a few months ago. However, that is not what I'm looking to distribute. At the moment, I am able to disassemble the ROMs and see what changes were made and how the functions are laid out. My goal is to create a universal patch file for the 700 series. However, I need to speak to someone who knows a bit more about this than I do. Preferably someone familiar with disassemblers and how the mac pro's efi bios works. A secondary goal is to avoid any disputes over who owns the ROM created here. I think it would be best if only patch files were distributed.

Thanks a lot for the support,

JeffreyA
