This directory contains AlphaBIOS for the AlphaPC 164LX. To update the firmware on an AlphaPC 164LX, enter the AlphaBIOS setup utility and choose "AlphaBIOS Upgrade..." ------------------------ Supported boot devices ------------------------ With the firmware on this diskette, Windows NT can be booted from an IDE disk or a disk connected to an Adaptec AHA-294x/394x, or SYMBIOS 8xx SCSI controller. Windows NT can be installed from IDE, AHA-294x/394x, or SYMBIOS 8xx. Once Windows NT is running, any SCSI controller on the HCL can be used for non-boot disks. ------------------------ Known Issues ------------------------ SMC EtherPower II - The SMC EtherPower II Card worked on Rev B AlphaPC 164LX and does not work on Rev C AlphaPC 164LX systems. The problem is that the system will hang in AlphaBIOS while trying to boot Windows NT. Sound Cards - The Ensonic AudioPCI Card based on the ES1370 chip causes Windows NT to hang once the Ensonic AudioPCI driver is loaded. The SoundBlaster PCI64 is an identical card to the Ensonic AudioPCI and is expected to exhibit the same problem.Download Driver Pack
