Installing Via 4 In 1 Driver; Installing Onboard Sound Driver; Bios Upgrade - AOpen MK33 Installation Manual

Installing VIA 4 in 1 Driver

You can install the VIA 4 in 1 driver ( IDE Bus master, VIA AGP, IRQ Routing Driver,
VIA Registry ) from the Bonus Pack CD disc autorun menu.

Installing Onboard Sound Driver

This motherboard comes with an AD 1885 AC97 CODEC and the sound controller
is in VIA South Bridge chipset. You can find the audio driver from the Bonus Pack
CD disc autorun menu.
Installing Windows 98 SE & Windows2000
If you are using Windows® 98 Second Edition or Windows2000, you do not need to
install the 4-in-1 driver as the IRQ Routing Driver and the ACPI Registry are already
incorporated into the operating system. Users with Windows® 98 SE may update
the IDE Busmaster and AGP drivers by installing them individually.
Please refer to VIA Technologies Inc. for latest version of 4 in 1 driver:

BIOS Upgrade

AOpen Easy Flash is more user friendly than traditional flash method. The BIOS binary
file and flash routine are combined together and you simply run a single file to complete
the flash process.
1. Get new BIOS upgrade program from AOpen's web site. For example,
MK33P109.EXE. It is recommended to save it to a bootable DOS floppy diskette for
error recovery.
2. Reboot the system to DOS mode without loading any memory handler (such as
EMM386) or device driver. It needs around 520K free memory space.
3. Execute A:> MK33P109
DO NOT turn off the power during FLASH PROCESS!
4. Reboot system and press <Del> to enter BIOS setup, Choose "Load Setup Defaults",
then "Save & Exit Setup". Done!
Warning: The upgrade of new BIOS will permanently replace
your original BIOS content after flashing. The original BIOS
setting and Win95/Win98 PnP information will be refreshed
and you probably need to re-configure your system.
