FMUP.EXE:  FLASH Memory Update Utility Release 3.2

This utility is used to save and update FLASH memory. It is recommended
that this utility be executed from a bootable MS-DOS diskette that 
contains BIOS recovery files for the target system (i.e. BIOS.REC).  

WARNING: This disk is NOT a DOS bootable diskette.

This utility must be executed in a system without memory managers installed.
If EMM386, QEMM, 386MAX, or Windows is active, then the FLASH update
is not safe.  Remove any memory manager or exit Windows before executing
the FLASH Memory Update Utility.

SHOWHDR.EXE:  This tool is provided to display header information on the
specified FLASH data image.  

Usage: SHOWHDR.EXE <FLASH data image filename>

What this BIOS fixes:

1. IRQ's 5 and 7 are now shareable.
2. corrects the issue of the ESCD file getting corrupted.
3. Corrects the issue where the Gateway logo would disappear.
4. Added DMI support to allow the BIOS to indicate if a PCI slot is in use or available.
5. Corrects issue where DMI always reported cache as enabled.
6. IDE Translation Mode updated so that LBA is not an option if the "IDE Device Configuration" option is set to "User Defined."  LBA has never been supported under this mode, but it has slways been an option.  If you choose that option with a drive that was larger than 1024 cylinders, you could havse potentially corrupted your drive's data.

How to install this BIOS on your system:


1.  Before making any changes to your BIOS, document your old CMOS settings so that when you update your BIOS, you’ll have a record of the old settings.  This is very important, so that you don’t run into problems later on.

2.  Make a bootable floppy.

3A.  If you're running Windows 95: In Explorer, click on file, then NEW, and FOLDER.  The system will then put a NEW FOLDER icon on your C drive.  Right-click on the downloaded BIOS file and choose Copy from the menu. Right click on the NEW FOLDER icon and choose Paste from the menu.  Double-click on the BIOS file in NEW FOLDER to extract the necessary files.

3B.  If you're running Windows 3.1x: In File Manager, select Create Directory from the File pulldown menu.  Type C:\TEST as the directory name and press Enter.  Click once the downloaded BIOS file to highlight it, choose Move from the File pulldown menu, and type C:\TEST in the box provided. Double-click on the BIOS now in the Test directory to extract the neccesary files.

4.  Copy the files onto the bootable floppy in the same manner as 2, only to the A drive.  Don’t copy the original compressed file to the disk or you’ll run out of room, and don’t copy the command.com file if there is one.  All others should be copied.

5.  Reboot with the diskette containing the BIOS files in your A drive and the system will automatically take you to the BIOS program.
