- EMBEDDED BIOS ROM DISK
- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Embedded BIOS has an integrated ROM disk driver that provides disk drive
- emulation with Flash or UVROM devices. Using the included utilities, it
- is easy to create a bootable floppy disk that can be transferred to a
- binary file for access by the ROM disk software integrated in the BIOS.
-
- The Embedded BIOS ROM disk can operate in either protected mode or real
- mode, enabling its operation in low-end 186-based systems or high-end
- 386, 486, and Pentium systems with ROM at the end of the address space.
-
- Commonly, the ROM disk can be stored into the same ROM device used to
- hold the BIOS, since the size of the BIOS can be configured for any size
- from 8kb to 64kb, depending on the options you select.
