******************** BIOS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS *************************
*****************************************************************************
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 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 computer will reboot automatically. When the
screen goes black after the BIOS installs, eject the BIOS installation
diskette.
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 1360D20.EXE , and
needs a parameter of A: (1360D20 A:) to successfully create the diskette in
drive A:
The self-extracting diskette image, 1360D20.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.
