I received the same error as you did, as it is
checking for a valid CL BIOS on the EEPROM as
the first step in its program.

No worries, though!

MANY, MANY thanks to Zoiah and everyone who has
contributed to his site and utilities.  Without
his BIOS pages, I would be stuck running my DDR
at 120/143 with a generic NVIDIA BIOS.  I know,
so what big deal, right?  That's not the point;
the point is I paid for a CL Anni Pro and was
stuck with an NVIDIA BIOS with sub-standard DDR
speed.

Anyway, I downloaded the following:

- 2.10.04 CL BIOS from Zoiah's page
- nvflash 3.03 executable
- biosmod 2.12 executable & DLL
- geforce script 2.10.02.01
- vgabios test executable
- dos4gw executable

I tested the raw CL 2.10.04 BIOS successfully,
using the vgabios program.  Something to note:
just testing this BIOS resulted in the normal
ram timing of 150-DDR, so technically speaking
I did not 'have' to modify the script.

But I did modify a copy of geforce script to
include updated ram timings of 150 and DDR, and
also to enable sidebanding, using the tutorial.
After testing with vgabios for an hour, it has
been working perfectly fine with looping 3DM2K.

So, I flashed it with the modified bios and all
is well:  CL Anni Pro, 120/150, CL BIOS 2.04,
and sidebanding enabled.  If sidebanding ever
starts to cause me problems, then I'll simply
flash back to the base BIOS.

Once again - thanks to Zoiah and everyone who
has linked to and mentioned his site.  This is
what the 'net was created for.
