Support Software
FILELIST.TXT - View this file to see the files included in the support software.
PFLASH.EXE - This is the Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by
uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM chip on the mother-
board. To determine the BIOS version, check the last four numbers of the code
displayed on the upper left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger num-
bers represent a newer BIOS file.
NOTE: A binary BIOS file is no longer included with the support software.
Save the motherboard's BIOS file to a floppy diskette as soon as your system is
operational. See "Flash Memory Writer Utility" in this section to “Save
Current BIOS to File.”

IMPORTANT: Flash Type may also be "INTEL 28F001BXT." If "unknown"
is shown after "Flash type --," then this ROM chip is not programmable or not
supported with the PnP BIOS and therefore cannot be programmed by the
Flash Memory Writer.
Main Menu
1. Save Current BIOS to File (Perform as soon as system is operational)
This option allows you to copy the contents of the Flash memory chip onto a dis-
kette. This gives you a backup copy of the original motherboard BIOS in case you
need to reinstall it.
Create a bootable system floppy diskette by typing [FORMAT A:/S] from the
DOS environment without creating "AUTOEXEC.BAT" and "CONFIG.SYS"
files, then save the PFLASH.EXE and the BIOS to the floppy diskette.
