5.0 Flash Writer Utility

You can upgrade the BIOS of your mainboard by using a "Flash Memory Writer"(FMW) utility. This utility can be downloaded from the factory's BBS(Consult your system vendor for the phone #). The system BIOS is stored on a 'flash' EPROM chip on the mainboard which can be erased and reprogrammed by the FMW.

The following three files make up the FMW.

AWDFLASH.EXE	-The Flash Memory Writer utility for
	Award to Award upgrade.
AMIFLASH.COM	-The Flash Memory Writer utility for
	AMI to AMI upgrade.
README	-A text file of instructions
*S62AWXX.BIN	-XX-A 2-digit version number.

Flash memory writer records (or ‘programs’) a new BIOS onto the flash memory chip. You cannot upgrade an Award BIOS to a AMI BIOS or a AMI BIOS to an Award BIOS.

*This file name is subject to change and can have either a "bin" or a "rom" extension.
