echo First you will execute BIOSSIG.EXE which attempts to match your BIOS ROM
echo against a database containing information on over 160 BIOS's.
echo -
echo If we have Your BIOS ROM already in our database, when you select the Quick Scan
echo Menu Selection, all of your BIOS's Signature Fields will be displayed.
echo -
echo If you do not get a 100 percent match, then consider capturing information
echo from your BIOS and sending it to us so we can add your BIOS's signature
echo information to the database. This batch file will tell you where to send
echo the file when you exit the program.
echo -
echo If you have a monochrome adapter, the program may clear the screen and then
echo appear to hang. You can Press Control C, answer Y and then type: "runme mono".
echo -
echo If you have a Color Graphics Adapter that "snows" then type: "runme snow" or
echo use the Optional Customization Menu within BIOSSIG.
echo -
echo If you can't run BIOSSIG successfully, all the more reason to run rom_capt,
echo rename the file "all_64k.rom" to something that describes your BIOS, and
echo send it to us at the address or BBS listed later in this runme.bat file.

echo You can either mail a disk with the BIOS Signature file(s) to:
echo -
echo Mike Focke
echo 3599 Twilight Ct
echo Oakton, Va 22124
echo -
echo Or you may upload the file(s) to us on Jeff Morley's Interconnect BBS at
echo 703-827-5762. Use Door 1 to register online for full access the first
echo time on! ARC or not as you please. Since I use MNP, the .ROM files
echo actually transfer to me just as fast as the .ARC files. Please make it a
echo private upload/download by preceding the file description with a "/" and
echo leave Mike Focke a PRIVATE message with the filename.
echo -
echo As not everyone who sends a BIOS has described what they see when their
echo machine boots, there may be subtle errors in the identification
echo (typically characters that are in the BIOS memory but that are not displayed).
echo -
echo Chris Stevens has submitted a BIOS that is in the database in terms of
echo its six part signature, but is slightly different in it's code from one
echo previously received. Therefore with this version we have added a
echo Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) to help differentiate between such BIOSs.

echo If we have received a BIOS from you ....thanks.
echo -
echo If we have received one and have failed to give appropriate credit...
echo shame on us...please leave us a note...
echo -
echo We would especially appreciate some help in finding the original IBM
echo PC, XT, Convertable, AT and PS-2 Model 80 20mhz BIOSs. We need the new
echo PS/2 model 30 too.
echo -
echo If you run a 386 machine which shadows the BIOS for additional speed,
echo either turn off the shaddowing or run RAM-CAPT. You can tell which one
echo because the wrong one will produce a file with all square boxes for the
echo entire file. Lots of BIOSsproduce square boxes in the begining but a
echo shadowed BIOS file will be all boxes unless you use RAM-CAPT or turn
echo off the shadowing and run ROM-CAPT.
echo -
echo BIOSSIG updates will appear regularly on Jeff Morley's Interconnect BBS
echo 703-827-5762 24 hours PCBoard.

echo Thanks again for your help from Ricki Vick and Mike Focke.
