Appendix B: Flash BIOS programming
If your board has the optional FLASH BIOS installed, you will be able to update your BIOS with-
out having to replace the EPROM. The WinBios will read the new BIOS file from a floppy disk,
replace the old BIOS and reboot your computer.
When updating your BIOS, make sure you have a disk with the correct BIOS file (its size should
be 128K). Rename the file to AMIBOOT.ROM. Turn your computer off. Insert the disk in Drive
A:, turn the computer on while pressing <CTRL> <HOME>. Your computer will show no screen,
but will beep to indicate what is being done.
If the programming is successful, you should hear the 4 beeps and your computer will reboot with
the new BIOS.
Please never turn the power off while reprogramming a FLASH BIOS.
Refer to the table on the next page for beep errors.
