- The subject says it all mostly...
-
- I have a 386-40 with an ETEQ chipset and an AMI BIOS. The date of the
- BIOS that I have is 24Dec90.
-
- From what I read here all sorts of good things (tm) were introduced in
- the BIOSs dated after May91 (I would particularly like to have the "boot
- from c: by default" option, to make it harder to collect an unwanted
- virus on my system)
-
- Does anyone out there run an ETEQ chipset 386, and if so which AMI BIOS
- do you have?
-
- My supplier has, to his credit, been quite diligent in trying to get me
- a later chip, but his distributer keeps sending the 24Dec90 version. The
- only explanation that we can produce is that this IS the latest BIOS....
- unless you know differently!
-
- BTW the mother board is produced by "Companion", and to date its working
- well. They list an address in California, but I believe it is
- manufactured in the Far East.
-
- Thanks in advance for your collective wisdom being sent by email....
