*********************************
1. New features since HS 01 05 :
---------------------------------
- "SMART capable but disabled" message will not be displayed during HDD detection
- Updated cpu microcode for Celeron mA-0 (cpu id 660)
2. Problems fixed since HS 01 05 :
-----------------------------------
- Fixed Olicom Lan Card boot issue. When this card was plugged and the HDD had no
active partition, the system was looping trying to boot successively on the
floppy and on the HDD .
- Fixed floppy control message: in Setup menu, in Advanced CMOS setup / Floppy
access control menu, it is possible to limit floppy access to "read only".
This works only if floppy is accessed through Bios and not through drivers.
Note that NT4, W95, W98 access floppy through driver and not through the bios.
Hence, with these operating systems, this option is inefficient.
The help message has been changed to explain this limitation better.
- Fixed the following problem: Boot Failure with 3COM 3C509 LAN Card + Bootrom
- Fixed the following problem: when the system had a non active HDD, it was not
possible to boot on another device.
3. Known problems
-----------------
- No known problems at time of release
4. Year 2000 notice
-------------------
If you use old (non standard) applications which access directly the RTC,
you might want to use Bios HS0106Y which solves year2000 transition problems
due to these applications.
