Anyway to remove "Compaq" logo from bootup sequence?

Hi group,

The Compaq logo is indeed red on black background. But the logo is BIG and
is followed only by the Windows splash screen. I thought it is more
interesting in seeing the POST sequence than Compaq's logo.

The BIOS chip looks like the standard 2MB removable type. But I don't think
it's worthwhile to replace or re-program the chip, since I could probably
replace the whole board for that price.

Thanks everyone

If the BIOS chip is removeable or flashable, then a
programmer could debug and bypass the logo routine.

I should know better (old enough to have learned that there are always
exceptions to the rule). Should have said there is no reasonable way
around
the logo. Yes, with great effort their are several possible ways around
it,
but I'm not aware anyone has ever posted here in seven years that they
have
done it, although many have asked about it. In theory, if the BIOS is a
removeable chip, you might find a chip or reprogram the chip, or you might
find
a chip's manufacturer's BIOS update that would get you around it. And you
may
render the PC useless in the process.
I think its fair to say there is no easy or reasonable way around it the
logo...you'd have to dislike Compaq even more than I do to go to all the
trouble and risk.
