Upgrading the BIOS of the Matrox 4Sight

On the Matrox 4Sight CD, the \
release of the Matrox 4Sight BIOS and the utility to write the
BIOS on the Matrox 4Sight unit. This utility should be run from
a DOS-compatible operating system. One method to verify the
version of the BIOS installed on a Matrox 4Sight unit is to look
at the upper left corner of the display while doing a cold boot of
the Matrox 4Sight. It will state a version stamp similar to
FS-A.BB.CCC.
The method to find the version of the BIOS file on the Matrox
4Sight CD is from the file name: fsabbccc.bin.
If the version stamp of the Matrox 4Sight unit is less recent
than the Matrox 4Sight CD BIOS file, we recommend updating
to the newer version from the Matrox 4Sight CD. To update the
BIOS, follow these steps:
1. Using Windows NT Embedded or Windows NT
Workstation, connect to a shared CD-ROM drive on a
development PC that will contain the Matrox 4Sight CD.
2. Copy the \
BIOS
\ \
BIOS FLASHROM
the Matrox 4Sight's C:\ root folder.
3. Using Embedded-DOS or MS-DOS on the Matrox 4Sight
unit, type the following command at the prompt:
FLASHROM FSABBCCC.BIN.
4. Power down the Matrox 4Sight unit.
5. Power up the Matrox 4Sight unit.
