Starion 200-300 BIOS 1.01 Upgrade

This TEXT file contains the following information:

1) Instructions for upgrading the Starion 200/300 system BIOS
2) Instructions for installing the INTEL PENTIUM OVERDRIVE
   PROCESSOR (P24T - 63Mhz or 83Mhz)

NOTE: The BIOS upgrade is necessary prior to installing the Intel 
Pentium Overdrive Processor.

1) BIOS UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS:

Download the file BG90101.EXE into a temporary directory. This file is a 
self-extracting archive file, type the name of the file from the DOS 
prompt or double click on the filename from File Manager.
 
When this file is run, it will expand to the below files:

DOSIMAGE.EXE
DOSIMAGE.DOC
TEMP.IMG
LICENSE.TXT

Insert a blank, formatted floppy into drive A.

For the next step you will need to be in DOS and in the directory where 
these files are located. From the DOS prompt type:

dosimage restore temp.img a: (this is case sensitive - use lower case)

The DOSIMAGE program will now create a bootable BIOS upgrade diskette.

Now, reboot the system with this newly created upgrade disk; the PHLASH 
utility will automatically begin the install process. Follow the instructions
and when asked to continue, answer YES (or OK). 

Reboot the system and ensure that the upgrade was installed properly prior 
to installing the Intel Pentium Overdrive Processor upgrade.
