3.	Add support for flash component

4.	BIOS version updated to G118

5.	HTML version updated to 1.90

6.	Implemented a new algorithm for calculating the real time as the old one did not work on boundary conditions (ex: last day of the year orleap year)

7.	The buffer, which stored the slot ids that had new devices inserted, was not geared for multiple enclosures on the same channel

8.	Fixed in the MPT (scsi) firmware

9.	Fixed in firmware. Now, set proper DRAM signatures for BIOS checking

10.	Fixed sub-event code was not properly logged in the NVRAM


Important Notes: 2

2.	Supports WHQL clustering 




Installation:
=============
MAKE SURE TO FLASH THIS FIRMWARE ONLY WHEN USING A MEGARAID SCSI 320-X or 320 CONTROLLER FROM LSI LOGIC CORPORATION.

1. Create a bootable floppy.  This floppy should be a basic boot disk without a config.sys or autoexec.bat; if using a Windows 98 Boot disk, bypass these files by holding down the left shift key. 

2. Take a second blank floppy, and extract all the files from the .ZIP with the firmware in it.

3. Reboot the system, and boot from the DOS bootable floppy.  At the A:> prompt, remove the first disk and insert the second disk.

4. At the A:> prompt, type MFLASH and hit enter.  The MegaRAID flash utility will start.

5. There will be prompts asking if this is the correct adapter, and the correct image.  Say yes to both.

6. The firmware will flash.  There will be a prompt to reboot the system When the controller has been completely flashed.
