- - fully working (192k), shared E0-EC pages
- - autodetection for Ami286 ISA BIOS
- - new autodetection block for #1A UMC UM8886AF chipset (WinAmi ISA/PCI BIOS)
- - new autodetection block for #14 Intel Neptune/Triton chipset
- - Octek Rhino6 ISA/PCI, MR BIOS Ver3.30, Triton 430FX
-
- RDOSUMB v1.1B rev a (17.2.1996)
- - new hardware implemented:
- - #1B Assus SiS/P5 chipset
- - fully working (192k), claimed problems with Himem & Stacker combination
- - autodetection for Award586 ISA/PCI PnP BIOS (Assus board)
-
- RDOSUMB v1.1A rev b (28.12.1995)
- - corrected serious bug of v1.18-v1.1A causing non-functional DEMO versions
- - #19: added pages E0-EF => full 192kB space
- - new Dimension info file
- - release version
-
- RDOSUMB v1.1A rev a (11.11.1995)
- - successfuly tested Windows 95 compatibility (at least on available boards)
- - two new hardwares implemented:
- - #19 * unknown Octek chipset, Owner: D. Voracek
- - only first 128k tested, pages E000-EFFF have to be adapted later
- - autodetection for Award486 VLB BIOS
- - #1A UMC UM8886AF chipset
- - fully working (192k), although has whole_ram_option
- - autodetection for Award486 VLB/PCI BIOS
- - removed FILES, FCBS, BUFFERS from ditribution
- - due to inefficiency, low speed and possible copyright corruption
- - useless with DOS7 (Win95 DOS) relocations
- - working on new generation of these utilities
- - tax for registered version lowered to $15 (299 Kc)
-
- RDOSUMB v1.18 rev b (14.9.1995)
- - new autodetection block for hardware #15 (Efar chipset)
-
- RDOSUMB v1.18 rev a (8.8.1995)
- - new hardware is working:
- - #18 OPTi Viper 82c557 chipset
- (detection routine is for Award Plug&Play BIOS)
- - work all 192kB although Plug&Play Extension resides at E000 segment
- (can be overwriten safely)
- - too fast PCI-setup causes some problems with PCI video cards.
-
- RDOSUMB v1.17 rev k (6.8.1995)
- - new detection block for OPTi-82c495aw (Award 486 BIOS) added to #15 (Efar)
- - proper name for #6: OPTi-82c291 chipset
- - some warnings about hanging added to TYPEDET.COM
- - some internal cleanups
-
- RDOSUMB v1.17 rev i (14.7.1995)
- - new mallocUMB() routine mainly because of FastBoot code
- - new FastBoot code - weird thing - when bootstrap is initiated keyboard-int-9
- is redirected back to RDOSUMB => system hangs up.. (on some motherboards)
- - first OFFICIAL DEMO RELEASE
-
- RDOSUMB v1.17 rev h (11.7.1995)
- - new utility: TYPEDET
- - You can now try to detect hardware types directly from command prompt
- - SAVEROM.EXE (c++: 3104 bytes) reprogrammed to SAVEBIOS.COM (asm: 206 bytes)
-
- RDOSUMB v1.17 rev g (2.7.1995)
- - many old hardware types have new (respective original) names
-
- RDOSUMB v1.17 rev f (1.7.1995) - oh, again ?
- - of course, why not :-)
- - hardware #9 (unknown w/ Award BIOS) is de facto hw #5 (MX 83c305 chipset).
- Detection routine of #9 is used to determine #5 (detection routine for #5
- still works well).
- - hw #14 -> hw #9 (Contaq chipset)
- - hws #15-#18 -> hws #14-#17 (Neptune, Efar, genVIA, DFI VIA)
- - some other cleanups
-
- RDOSUMB v1.18 rev c (30.6.1995)
- - new chipset DFI VIA is available. It's simply VIA chipset with some
- pages disabled. DFI's BIOS resides at E8000-FFFFF and also pages in
- area E0000-E7FFF are not working properly.
- - hardware type #17 (VIA chipset) has new name: generic VIA chipset
- - DFI VIA chipset has its own number: #18
- - new autodetection for: #8 (SiS chipset) w/ Award PCI BIOS
- - added checking for the height of hardware number directly specified
- on command line. The parameter is ignored and ERROR message is
- produced since now.
- - some internal changes (cleanups etc.)
- - revision of the documentation
-
- RDOSUMB v1.17
- - autodetection routines for hardware types 0Eh-14h (finally :-)
- - new chipsets are now fully working (also with autodetection):
- - Intel Mercury chipset ( pentium ISA/PCI board w/ Award Bios )
- - Efar chipset ( 486 ISA/VLB/PCI board w/ Award Bios )
- - VIA chipset ( 486 VIP ISA/VLB/PCI board w/ Award Bios )
- - some small internal changes
- - revision of the documentation
-
- RDOSUMB v1.13
- - First official release. No public versions yet. Only for my friens at all.
- (Because of many hardware types implemented in program I have decided to
- give it on the Internet so i'm working on new (public) demo version now).
-
- RDOSUMB previous versions
- - RDOSUMB was programmed nearly for year (most of time took hardware testing
- on many many computers). First it was done for my privat use, then i decided
- to give it to other people. Those alpha versions worked well for me and my
- friends but for sure not for much more people around the world.
-
- If you read these lines you probably bought this program or you got it from
- some of your friens (and probably without mentioning him!). If you stoled it
- don't forget it carries end-user name in every program in package!
-
- No public version is available yet! Only registered versions!
