OSINEMAX - USING PROMISE EIDEMAX WITH PROMISE BIOS VERSION 1.14
07/02/96
=======================================================================
Using Promise EIDEMAX with Promise BIOS Version 1.14
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
When attempting to start OS/2, on systems using a Promise EIDEMAX
adapter at BIOS revision 1.14, the system locks with a blank screen and
blinking cursor.
RESOLUTION
There is an incompatibility problem between Promise's latest BIOS,
version 1.14, and OS/2. To avoid the problem, you can either:
1. Disable the BIOS on the Promise adapter. (Refer to the
documentation that comes with the adapter for instructions
on how to do this.)
or,
2. Back-level the BIOS to version 1.13; this version corrects the
problem. Contact Promise to obtain version 1.13, at 408-452-1180,
or on the World Wide Web at http://www.promise.com.
