[MULTI_FD]
Flag=1
FD#01=PCI,0,1F,2,80,7006,7007,9.fd
FD#02=PCI,2,0,0,4,100006,100007,7.fd
FD#03=PCI,2,0,0,18,0c,0e,9.fd
FD#04=PCI,0,1f,0,0,0015808F,2815808F,8.fd
FD#05=IO,C0,5AABFE02,5AABFE02,9.fd
FD#06=IO,1F6,E7,E4,7.fd
FD#07=IO,C0,fe03,fe03,7.fd
FD#08=IO,C0,03,01,7.fd
FD#09=PCI,2,0,0,0,813,812,9.fd

Flag 1 -> Multi-FD mode, 0 -> normal mode
FD#XX support 99 files FD#01 ~ FD#99
FD#XX=IO Type,Offset,Mask,Value,File name
FD#XX=PCI Type,Bus,Device,Function,Offset,Mask,Value,File name
Type -> Support IO space and PCI address type
Offset -> Offset (HEX)
Mask -> IO type support BYTE, WORD, DWORD (HEX). For example, BYTE -> 03, WORD -> 0A01, DWORD 100400D3 
     -> PCI type support DWORD only
File name -> File name of FD
If [Offset] & Mask == Value, then flash the following file.

3. Support Windows PE 2.0 x64 version

User must run InsydeFlashx64.exe in x64 PE.
The user can make pure x64 InsydeFlash in FD Packer.

4. Support FD argument

For example: Run InsydeFlash.exe xxx.fd
It will skip MULTI_FD in INI and auto-searching FD.

5. Support /g argument

For example: Run InsydeFlash.exe xxx.fd /g
Just like DOS version, user can read current ROM to a file.

6. Verify regions(descriptor mode) in ROM file.


Version 3.48
------------
1.When user enable UAC in Vista, the user need to "Run as administrator" with InsydeFlash.

2.Fix unstable place when InsydeFlash is initializing.

Version 3.47
------------
1. Change InsydeFlash behavior.

OLD : Even AC flag is 1, AC adapter does not plugged but battery life percent is fine. InsydeFlash allow flash process.
NEW : If AC flag is 1, AC adapter should be plugged.

Version 3.46
------------
1.Fix a battery detection bug.

InsydeFlash will get current battery life percent value from OS and compare
with value in platform.ini

[AC_Adapter]
BatteryCheck=1
BatteryBound=20

Also, if battery life percent is not enough, it will display the value in message box.

Version 3.45
------------
1.In platform.ini, InsydeFlash add more keys for model checking process.

For example, ODM may have one BIOS for different model.
They need to use different ID in different model.

There are two kinds of solutions.
First, user add ID list in ini file. User set Flag to 2.

[Platform_Check]
flag=2
PlatformName=AAA1
PlatformName2=AAA2
PlatformName3=AAA3
PlatformName4=AAA4
PlatformName5=AAA5
PlatformName6=AAA6
PlatformName7=
PlatformName8=
PlatformName9=

Second, ODM reports all IDs in one string at IHISI function 11h and BVDT.
For example, the string will be like "AAA1AAA2AAA3AAA4AAA5AAA6"
Also, some share ROM model need check EC's id, ODM can combine the ID with this string.
