Reprogramming from System Boot
When you reprogram from system boot, the American Megatrends Flash
utility:
1.
reads S707P.ROM from the root directory of the floppy disk in
drive A:,
2.
erases the Flash EPROM,
3.
programs the Flash EPROM with the data read from the floppy disk
in drive A:, and
4.
generates a CPU reset, rebooting the system.
The bootblock part of the Flash EPROM is not programmed. Should the user
inadvertently open the disk drive door or turn power off to the computer
while programming the Flash EPROM, the bootblock will be unaffected.
Simply turn power back on and begin the Flash ROM programming process
again. The bootblock code immediately reads the A: drive, looking for
the new BIOS information.
S707P.ROM
S707P.ROM resides on a floppy disk and contains the updated main BIOS
code. American Megatrends will provide this file when the AMIBIOS for
the Super Voyager VLB-III ISA motherboard must be updated.
S707P.ROM must be present in the root directory of the floppy disk
before the onboard Flash EPROM can be reprogrammed. The file that has
the main BIOS code must be named S707P.ROM.
