In the event of this occurring, the F12 Installation Method, described below, can be used to recover from this error condition. If you are upgrading a number of computers with this BIOS, the F12 installation method is the quickest. It is recommended that all PCMCIA cards be removed from the system prior to upgrading the BIOS. Also advisable is removing the computer from an attached DeskStation V or DeskStation V Plus or NoteDock Enhanced Port Replicator. It is not unusual to see a CMOS error when you first reboot the computer after installing the new BIOS. If you see this message on your screen, press F1 as instructed. This displays the "TSETUP" screen. Press <End> to save the CMOS data. You won't see the CMOS error again. ******************** BIOS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ************************* ***************************************************************************** There are three ways to install this BIOS version: 1) Use the bootable diskette that is automatically created by the Windows UnZip process (Recommended) 2) At startup by holding down the F12 key. 3) Run CHGBIOSB.EXE at the command prompt. ***************************************************************************** 1) BOOT DISKETTE INSTALLATION METHOD (Recommended) -------------------------------------------------- This release of the electronic distribution BIOS utilizes a self-extracting ZIP file that, when run under Windows or Win-OS2, creates a bootable BIOS installation diskette. Since you're reading this, you were obviously able to extract the downloaded file. If you also created the BIOS installation diskette as a part of the extraction process, you're ready to follow the installation instructions below. If you didn't create the installation diskette during the extraction phase, or if you extracted the downloaded file with PKUnZip or WinZip, you can create the installation diskette by executing the INSTINFO program from the DOS command prompt. Install this BIOS using the following steps: WINDOWS 95/98 or Windows NT 4.x: o Close all open programs o Insert the BIOS installation diskette into your diskette drive (A:) o Click Start o Click Shutdown o Click the radio button next to "Restart the computer?" o Click Yes WINDOWS 3.x: o Close all open programs o From Program Manager, click on File/Exit Windows Windows exits to a MS-DOS command prompt o Insert the BIOS installation diskette into your diskette drive (A:) o Press Ctrl-Alt-Del (press and hold the <Ctrl> and <Alt> keys and press the <Del> key) to restart the system OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS o Close all open programs o Shut down the operating system o Insert the BIOS installation diskette into your diskette drive (A:) o Restart the computer by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del or turning the computer OFF then on again The computer will boot MS-DOS from the BIOS installation diskette, and initiate the Flash BIOS installation routine. When the Flash BIOS installation is complete, the success message is displayed: Please push the RESET SW (or turn AC power OFF/ON) to restart! ROM Write Successful! Utility Finished! Eject the diskette from drive A: and turn the computer OFF then ON, or press the reset switch to restart your computer. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THIS RELEASE --------------------------------------------- If you are unable to use the Windows self-extractor, the self-extracting ZIP archive can be extracted by executing it from a DOS prompt or it can be extracted using PKUNZIP 2.04G or an equivalent UnZIP utility. A DOS batch file, INSTINFO.BAT is provided in the ZIP archive which will create the BIOS installation diskette. If all else fails, you can execute the self-extracting diskette image manually. This file is named 1096D800.EXE, and needs a parameter of A: (1096D800 A:) to successfully create the diskette in drive A: The self-extracting diskette image, 1096D800.EXE, will run under MS-DOS or a command prompt under Windows 95/98, NT, or OS/2. PLEASE NOTE that long directory names in the path where the self-extracting image file is stored under Windows 9x or NT will cause the self-extracting image to abort. Long directory names are supported under OS/2. 2) F12 INSTALLATION METHOD --------------------------- Your Toshiba computer has a special keyboard function to install an updated BIOS image. To use this function, hold down the F12 while the computer is powered on. The computer MUST be in BOOT mode, not Resume mode. The F12 installation method will only work with the internal keyboard. If your computer is docked with the display closed and you are using an external keyboard, the computer will need to be undocked and the internal keyboard's F12 key used. When the computer starts up with the F12 key depressed, the following message appears: 'Ready for BIOS update. Place the BIOS diskette in the drive, and press any key when ready to proceed.' Insert the diskette that contains CHGBIOSB.EXE and BIOFCECT.COM, and press any key. The CHGBIOSB program will automatically load the BIOFCECT.COM file. 3) RUN CHGBIOSB.EXE AT THE COMMAND PROMPT ----------------------------------------- The CHGBIOSB program is designed to be run from the MS-DOS command prompt. It cannot be run in a DOS box inside of Windows 3.x, Windows 9x, OS/2 or other operating systems. It also will not run if a Memory Manager, like EMM386, is loaded. The CHGBIOSB program can be run from a floppy disk, hard drive, or PCMCIA drive. However, you will need a floppy diskette (high or low density) in your A: drive at the time the CHGBIOSB program is run. When the CHGBIOSB program is executed by itself, it will prompt you to specify where the BIOS image file, BIOFCECT.COM is located. Enter the complete path and file name. Example: C:\1320CV80\BIOFCECT.COM. NOTE! ----- If your path for BIOFCECT.COM is anywhere other than the root directory of the A: drive (A:\BIOFCECT.COM), CHGBIOSB will copy the BIOS image file from its current location to the root directory of A: drive. Optionally, the CHGBIOSB program can also be run from a single command which includes the path to the BIOFCECT.COM file. Example: CHGBIOSB C:\1320CV80\BIOFCECT.COM CHANGE HISTORY -------------- Version 8.00 02-08-2000 o A change was made to support Windows 2000. o A power off failure was corrected when running Windows NT with SP4. o Corrected a problem where having the "USB Legecy=Enabled" set in the BIOS, and entering some keys on a Japanese USB keyboard was impossible. o Corrected a problem of installing a driver from the FDD. Installing a driver was impossible when a new device was detected during Windows 98 installation. Version 7.40 07-14-1999 o Corrected a resume/suspend problem in Windows 98, when a Omuron USBfinger print check system was attached to the computer. o Corrected a problem in Windows 98 that, when the computer was set to "No Action" for "When I close the lid of my computer", the computer would wake up, if the LCD lid was opened or closed. o Corrected a problem where, when using an incorrect key floppy diskette, the password would be canceled. Version 7.30 10-23-1998 o Corrected a problem where, when using a Sharp LCD, the entire screen would turn white when the system was set to standby mode. o Corrected a problem where, with the system in suspend mode, connecting and disconnecting a PCMCIA LAN card may cause the machine to hang. Version 7.20 07-13-1998 o Updated to include ACPI functionality for Windows 98 Version 6.20 06-11-1998 o A countermeasure was taken to eliminate the shifting of a single pixel line which occurred when the Sharp (800X600) TFT LCD was installed Version 6.10 03-31-1998 o Corrected condition that would cause displayed vertical striping and system hangs, when the 800x600 16M color mode is selected and a display auto off would occur. o A correction has been made to modify the DMI writing procedure so eliminate the "Data Not Restored" error message that would be displayed when the Flash-ROM was resaved with unchanged data. o Initial Production BIOS for Satellite 330/335. **end**Download Driver Pack
