5. Driver and Utility

5.1 Flash Utility 

The BIOS of the

BBPCHOME  motherboard can be upgraded by 

using a Flash utility. A new version of the BIOS can be downloaded 

from the factory’s BBS and Web site. The system BIOS is stored in a 

4 M-bit Flash EEPROM that can be erased and reprogrammed by the 

Flash utility. 

The Flash utility will not work with any memory manager software 

running in the system. In order to make sure no memory manager 

software is running, boot your system from a bootable floppy diskette 

which does not contain CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXE.BAT files. If 

you are using MS-DOS 6.x, you can press the  function key 

when the “Starting MS-DOS.” Message appears on the screen to by 

pass the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT.
