PHLASH.EXE - flash ROM utility PLATFORM.BIN - flash ROM utility. (used under DOS to flash) note: This PLATFORM.BIN file is only used under DOS to flash the system BIOS.

Signon : Digital PC 3010 XYYY Z Version 1.05 Note: X = 5 ---> INTEL or AMD K5 = 6 ---> AMD K6 YYY = 90/100/120/133/150/166/180/200/233 Z = M ---> P55c = K ---> AMD The following fixes are made to BIOS V1.03 to generate BIOS V1.05 - Fix PCCare problem (using the mcdutils.asm, utils.asm from Phoenix) - Fix the wrong shadow ram display on summary screen when select video memory as 1.5, 2.5 MB - Will check for VGA ROM signature during checksum, if not found then go do crisis recovery. This feature allows the BIOS to look for a VGA ROM signature before attempting to boot. - Change platform.bin structure : divide the flash part into 4 logical blocks. We now will erase all 4 blocks, then come back and program those 4 blocks. - Change platform.bin : to disable write to flash part right after successfully programming it. We do this to prevent anything from inadvertently trying to write to the flash part. - Change bootblock code to ensure flash part is set to write-protect at startup until control transfers to normal boot. - Change registers default settings and regs loading routines to make sure flash part is set to write-protect during the normal boot process until control transfers to the OS. - Set default setting for "Secured Setup Configuration" = NO - Set default setting for "PnP OS" = NO (necessary for NT) CAUTION: ONLY USE THIS BIOS TO UPGRADE FROM BIOS VERSIONS AFTER 1.00
