9-25-97 SM09P, M09P
-Released for testing

9-24-97 SM09P, M09P
-Problem: In LANDesk under Basic Hardware shown that bus speed is 0MHz
   instead of matching the clock speed to 60 or 66.

	speed with different ratio (3*66=200)

9-24-97 SM09P, M09P
-Problem: In LANDesk DMI Structure 1 on Manufacturer showed no info
 Fixed: Changed Manufacturer to Micronics, Tigercat System

9-24-97 SM09P, M09P
-Problem: Seeing with single/multiple CUPs in the system caused by the need
   for earlier P6 processors to have the APIC turned off - Erratum #5AP and
   #6AP. These Errata were fixed in later revisions of the P6 CPUs.
 Fixed: Updated the mpp6apic.asm file

9-22-97 SM09P, M09P
-Fixed: Added in resource allocation for USB at DC000h
        Changed resource allocation for System ROM @ 4G at FFFC0000h

-release for testing

9-10-97 SM08P, M08P
-Problem: Help specific item didn't match on power management menu, Parallel
   port mode
 Fixed: Change help specific item

Note: Sound portion use oem\audio

9-10-97 M07P (without sound)
-set sound default to disable (bcp.asm)
-take out sound selection option on CMOS setup (template.asm)
-same as SM07P

8-27-97 SM07P
-Problem: Disabled sound on cmos setup, windows 95 still pick up sound chip
 Fixed: Added routine SoundDisabledFar to disable

8-26-97 SM07P
-Updated registers according to Intel Platform Support Labs Report

8-25-97 SM07P
-Updated registers according to Intel Platform Support Labs Report

8-25-97 SM07P
-Fixed: Ultra DMA

8-21-97 SM06P
-Problem: When PS/2 mouse disabled from CMOS, windows 95 should not see PS/2
   mouse device node and BIOS should release IRQ12 for PCI bus.
 Fixed: put in bcpiPointerOptions = bcpiPointerOptions OR MOUSE_AUTO_HIDE
 	MAKE_BCP_MOUSE on bcp.asm to hide the device node if no PS/2
	mouse attached. (Note: has to enabled PS/2 mouse on CMOS
	setup cause it's PnP OS.)

8-21-97 SM06P
-Added support to detect Mode 4 CD-ROM Drive

8-21-97 SM06P

 Fixed: Moved POST_TASK TP_PM_SETUP after POST_TASK TP_ERROR_CHECK

8-20-97 SM06P
-Fixed: Set bit 7=0 of reg53 to disable. When this bit is disabled, a read
   cycle from PCI to DRAM will not retry due to any pending CPU-to-PCI cycle. 
   PCI master device will not be slow down.

8-8-97 SM06P
-Problem: Setup password for Supervisor and User on cmos setup. Once clear
   Supervisor password, user password should be cleared but now still existed.

   sound. (By moving the mouse, lots of SMI generated.)
 Fixed: Change register value LEGSUP (Function 2) RegC0=0Bh

6-24-97 SM02P
-Problem: Option on cmos setup for serial ports and parallel port showed "OS
   Contorller to PnP" instead of "PnP OS"
 Fixed: Changed "OS Controller to PnP" on serial ports and parallel port to
   "PnP OS" to match all other BIOS.

6-23-97 SM02P
-Problem: With PnP OS set to "Yes", get "Expansion ROM not initialized. PCI
   Mass storage controller configuration erro" upon system start with various
   PCI SCSI controllers in the system.
 Fixed: add in bcpiPciWindowsOSR2 = DISABLED for MAKE_BCP_PTLPCI

-Problem: Soft power cannot shut down system
 Fixed:	Add in routine to GPIO 22 to shut down soft power

6-23-97 SM02P
-Added code to display System & Video BIOS shadowing & caching to match the

-Problem: Hang on disk3 when installing Windows NT 3.51 at scanning
   Trantor driver
 Changed: add cmos setup for USB Legacy Mode to enable or disable USB
