The 1.00.08.CY1T BIOS is released for increased INT13 functionality
(relating to Bootable CDs and faster boot times), added additional DMI
support, implementation of APM v1.2 support and "Secure Flash". This
BIOS will work for the P5-100, P5-120, P5-133, P5-166, and P5-200
systems based on the TIGEREYE motherboards [CY1T series BIOS].
** NOTE!: This BIOS implements "Secure Flash", and as a result, once
flashed in, you will not be able to revert back to a non-secure flash
BIOS without using the "Flash Recovery" jumper. This is being
implemented to help keep viruses or other software from accidentally
writing to the Flash BIOS part, and causing corruption.
Upgrading Your BIOS
===================
To properly install the BIOS, follow these steps (if you received this
as a diskette, skip to step #2):
1. Make a bootable flash and recovery diskette as follows:
a. Format a blank floppy as a system disk. At the DOS prompt
type: C:> FORMAT A: /S
b. Double click the downloaded file in File Manager or explorer
in order to decompress it. Or, you can expand the files by
changing to the a: drive, typing 1008CY1T, and pressing Enter.
Copy only the expanded files and not the downloaded file to
your bootable diskette.
c. You now have a "Bootable Flash Disk".
IMPORTANT: Before continuing, you should enter the CMOS setup
utility and record your settings, as they will be needed after
the Flash Update is done in case some of the settings are
corrupted during the upgrade.
2. Reboot you computer with your "Bootable Flash Disk" in drive A.
You can do this with the RESET button or CTRL-ALT-DEL.
3. The system will come up with the "Flash Memory Update Utility"
screen. Press ENTER to continue.
4. The "Main Menu" will appear. With a help box describing the
options. Using the down arrow key highlight the option "Update
Flash Memory Area From A File". Press ENTER to continue.
5. The "Update Flash Area" window will appear. "Update System BIOS"
should be highlighted (if it is not use the arrow keys to
highlight it). With "Update System BIOS" highlighted. Press
ENTER to continue.
6. The "Enter Path/Filename" window will appear. Press the down
arrow key once to highlight "1008CY1T.BIO" in the Files Box. Press
ENTER to continue.
7. After a short wait, the "Verify Image" window should appear.
"Continue With Programming" should be highlighted. Press ENTER to
upgrade.
8. After a short wait, a message window should appear. "Continue"
should be highlighted. **Remove the flash disk from the floppy
drive and press enter.**

at the upper left hand corner.
