FLASH Memory Update Utility Release 3.2
This utility is used to save and update FLASH memory. It is recommended
that this utility be executed from a bootable MS-DOS diskette that
contains BIOS recovery files for the target system (i.e. BIOS.REC).
This utility must be executed in a system without memory managers installed.
If EMM386, QEMM, 386MAX, or Windows is active, then the FLASH update
is not safe. Remove any memory manager or exit Windows before executing
the FLASH Memory Update Utility.
You must record your CMOS SETUP parameters before updating the BIOS and set
the CMOS parameters to default values after the update is complete, then
re-enter the original values. Erratic operation may result if the SETUP
parameters are not set to default values. You can set the CMOS parameters
to default values by entering SETUP and hitting the F5 key. The CMOS
memory map may change from BIOS version to BIOS version, setting the
parameters to default values will guarantee the CMOS memory is updated
correctly.
See the file BIOINSTR.TXT for complete instructions on updating the BIOS.
