MS-4145 AG56 BIOS Release
-------------------------
1. This BIOS fixes the following problems of the previous version:
- Fixes the problem of Cyrix 5x86 120MHz showing 100MHz.
- Fixes the incorrect IRQ assignment (sometimes) for the PCI slots.
- Fixes the problem of AMIDIAG showing "BIOS not write-protected".
(Non-SMI CPU with power management enabled will still give this
problem.)
- Fixes the conflict with SMC network card set at port 240H and
on-board Winbond I/O.
- Fixes the problem of system sometimes unable to boot from FDD.
- Fixes the problem of some PnP ISA cards not auto-detected in
Windows 95.
- Fixes the problem of unable to boot from hard disk when using 3COM
LAN card + AHA-2940 SCSI adapter.
2. This BIOS can now support the new AMD Am5x86-P75 (X5-133MHz) CPU.
3. This BIOS has added a new option in the PERIPHERAL Menu:
Detect Hard Disk Delay Time: Disabled, 5 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec
This is especially for WD hard disks and some slower types of hard disks.
4. This BIOS should be used for the new ALI 1489A1/SE version.
5. This BIOS does not support PS/2 mouse.
6. This BIOS is exactly the same as AG56S, except that AG56S is not a Plug
'n Play BIOS.
AG56: Not a Plug 'n Play BIOS. Should be programmed into EPROM or
other brands of flash memory (not SST nor Winbond).
AG56S: A Plug 'n Play BIOS. Should be programmed into SST or Winbond
Flash Memory. This BIOS should be used for Windows 95 certifi-
cation.
Note: AG56 BIOS is not a Plug 'n Play BIOS, and has to be used with EPROM.
How to use the AMIFL465.COM Utility
-----------------------------------
This utility is used to program a new BIOS into a Flash memory. You have to
make sure first that the BIOS installed in your mainboard is Flash memory,
and not EPROM.
1. Turn on your computer.
2. Boot up clean, bypassing your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
3. Then, run the AMIFL465.COM file.
C:\>AMIFL465 AG56.ROM
The programming screen will be shown. At the bottom of the screen, the
following message will appear:
Press "Y" to Continue, "N" to Reboot
Press "N" if you do not want to continue programming the new BIOS.
Press "Y" if you want to continue programming the new BIOS. The new BIOS
will then be programmed. When it has finished programming, the following
message will appear:
Flash EPROM Program Successful. Press Any Key to Reboot.
You have successfully programmed the new BIOS.
