This update loads BIOS version: 1.14 6/16/99

Before proceeding with the BIOS Update, use the following steps
to create a system bootable disk:

(1). Open My Computer
(2). Locate the 3 1/2 Floppy (A:) drive.
(3). Using the "Right" mouse button, click once.
(4). Using the "Left" mouse button, select FORMAT.
(5). Select "Copy System Files Only" and press START.
(6). Run this patch program to unzip the update onto this floppy.

Description:
------------
This update creates a BIOS Flash Utility Floppy for the following
Pavilion Models:

6404(H), 6405(H), 6408(H), 6409(H), 6410, 6415(H),
6416, 6418(H), 6420, 6425(H), 6426(H), 6428(H), 6429(H),
6430, 6460, 6466, 6470Z, 8400, 8415(H), 8418(H),
8428(H), 8480Z, 8490, 8496, 8500, 8570C, 8576C


Installation Method:
--------------------
1. Restart the computer with this floppy disk in the A: drive.
2. Press Y at the prompt to proceed with the installation.

Phoenix Phlash will automatically update the BIOS. Phlash may fail if your system is using memory managers, in that case the utility will display the following message:
"Cannot flash when memory manager are present. (HIMEM)"

If you see this message after you execute Phlash, you must disable the memory manager on your system or you can reenter the phlash command with the following switch
A:>phlash bios.rom /X
To do this you may have to create a DOS boot up floppy disk and then execute phlash from there.

3. When a message box appears indicating the Flash Memory has
   been successfully programmed, remove the disk from the A: drive
   and restart the computer.
4. During the boot process, the following message will be displayed:

     0251: System CMOS checksum bad - Default configuration used
     Press <F1> to Setup, <F2> to Resume

5. Press F1 to enter SETUP
6. Press F5 to reset BIOS defaults.
7. Press F10 to exit SETUP saving your changes.
8. Press ENTER to confirm the save.


Technical Release Notes:
------------------------

1.00: Initial Release
1.01: Fixed a problem where the system would suspend in DOS even
      though the "Auto Suspend Timeout" field in setup was set for OFF.

Known Limitations:
1. The "TV Output Format" setup option is present but has not been
   tested due to hardware availability.

Notes:
1. This BIOS should only be used with the B0 or later steppings of
   the Intel 440BX.
2. This BIOS does not support Klamath CPU updates due to ROM space
   constraints.
3. If CMOS is corrupt or if the previous boot failed to complete,
   and if the user elects to continue booting rather than enter
   setup, and the system boots into Win95/Win98/etc., the system
   will run very slowly.  This is caused by the BIOS programming
   the CPU Memory Type and Range Registers (MTRR) to indicate that
   all extended memory is uncacheable.  This is by design and is
   intended to allow the system to boot even though errors have
   occurred (a type of safe mode).

1.02:
Added Features:
1. Added a feature that would disable the legacy floppy drive if
   it is not present or not functioning.  This allows another
   removable drive, such as an LS-120, to be factory installed
   and configured as A: without modifying any setup items.  This
   feature will also move the legacy floppy to the head of the
   removable devices list in setup if the floppy is present.
   Finally, no floppy drive error messages will be displayed
   during POST.
2. Added support for Intel Katmai CPUs, including the MU167204
   microcode update for Katmai B0 CPUs.
3. Added the MU165301 Deschutes B1 microcode update.
4. Removed support for Dutch language in setup.
5. Added support to detect 440BX vs. 440ZX chipsets and disable
   the 3rd DIMM display in setup if a 440ZX is detected..
6. Added support for the ATI "TV Standard Boot-Up Detection"
   specification dated November 25th, 1998.  (Since the Rage Pro
   and Rage IIC video ROMs do not support this specification,
   the TV Output Format setup item will not be displayed in setup.)

Bugs Fixed:
1. Fixed a problem when running the Microsoft HCT 8.0 test under
   Windows NT 4.0 that cause the IDE test to fail.

Known Limitations: None


1.03:
1. Fixed a problem allocating IRQs to add-in AGP adapters (such as
   the Nvidia adapter).
2. Fixed a problem with the IBM 14.4G HDD that caused the system
   to hang during POST.
3. Fixed several implementation errors with the ATI "TV Standard
   Boot-Up Detection" specification.
4. Fixed a problem where some 440BX systems would fail to display
   the 3rd DIMM slot in setup.

1.04:
Added Features:
1. Added support to display the new Pentium III CPU strings.


1.05:
1. Added new ATI Rage Pro video BIOS which supports the ATI TV Output
   Specification.


1.06:
Added Features:
1. Added support for the Pentium III Serial Number feature by adding
   an item in setup.
2. Added support for partition table hiding on ATAPI Zip drives to
   allow them to be booted as a removable device.

Bugs Fixed:
1. Fixed a problem where a DIMM with invalid SPD checksum did not
   cause a POST error.
2. Fixed a problem running Win98 in APM mode where the system would
   enter suspend but never resume (also occurred in DOS).

1.07:
1. Fixed a problem where the system would hang on an APM suspend if
   an ATAPI Zip drive was installed

1.08:
1. Fixed a problem with the PCI IRQ routing table under ACPI that
   caused installation failures with Windows 2000 BETA.

1.09:
1. Added legacy USB keyboard and mouse support.
2. Removed a feature that disabled the DIMM clocks for unused DIMM sockets
   because of problems with the ICS9248 clock chip.
3. Removed the video option ROM for the Rage IIc video controller.
4. Fixed a problem where it would take up to 1 minute to boot from the hard
   drive if both an ATAPI Zip drive and an HP8100 CD-RW drive are attached to
   the system and the Zip drive is selected as removable media.
5. Fixed a problem where the system would go into suspend while the user was
   in setup.

1.10:
1. Added AUTO option for Legacy USB feature. Setup default set to AUTO.
2. Added support for SST39SF020 flash part.
3. Microcode update for Katmai Slot 1 C0.

1.11:
1. Fixed a problem when using a serial mouse on COM2 with legacy USB set
   to Enabled or Auto.
2. Fixed a problem where Katmai C0 microcode updates were not applied to
   the Pentium III CPU.

1.12:
1. Added support for the Mosel-Vitelic V29C51002T flash part.
2. Updated Katmai C0 stepping CPU microcode (mu167305).
3. Fixed a problem with corrupted UDMA strings in setup when the hard
   drives were selected as user type.

1.13:
1. Added a feature to always prevent IRQ5 from being assigned to a PCI
   device if either the Diamond Monster Sound or Riptide audio cards are
   installed.  (Note that this does not modify the value of the
   corresponding setup option, which can still be used to reserve IRQ5).
2. Fixed a problem where HDD and CD-ROM drives might be listed under the
   removable format option in setup.
3. Fixed a problem with the Diamond Viper V770 AGP card where the BIOS
   would sometimes not allocate the appropriate memory resources to the
   card, causing a POST failure of 1 long and 2 short beeps (indicating
   an OPROM checksum failure), followed by no video display.
4. Fixed a problem where if an HDD was set for USER type, the Ultra DMA
   Mode option in setup would allow the user to select type 3 or 4 even
   though the system does not support these modes.
5. Fixed a problem where if the user would reload setup defaults while
   in setup, the option for Pentium III Serial Number support would
   disappear.

1.14:
1. Added a feature that will always enable the Diamond Monster Audio PCI
   card no matter what the setting of the "Installed O/S" setup option.
   This allows the DOS mode driver to find and configure the card.
