BIOS Updates forum

Dr. Morg, I looked at the Linux device driver module brokencase did for the L2 cache enable (see earlier posting - this thread). It should be pretty easy to port that code to the DOS and Windows drivers. That's great! Can you do it yourself and upload to yuor site? To be effective it would also nee...

I thought you wanted to do the deepsleep transition at processor ring 0? The 2K/XP application runs in protected mode, and the piix4.sys driver does exactly what the DOS version does. The code to do the deepsleep transition is the same in all the versions. The only difference is how the PIIX4 is lo...

brokencase, I've added the source files for the DOS/Win3x/Win9x versions to the download page http://home.pacbell.net/wmarcusm/deepsleep/ Most of the code is either devoted to finding the correct PCI device (pxii4x), of computing the CPU frequency. The code that sets up the deepsleep transition is ...

I have excellent news! I have found how to start Deep Sleep Utility in zero ring OS before loading OS kernel! I need a source code of Deep Sleep Utility, or only its part is necessary for this purpose on Assembler which carries out translation CPU in Deep Sleep Mode and its return to a normal condit...

Dr. Morg, If you are running NT/2K/XP, then install the 2K/XP version. The DOS version will only run correctly on an OS prior to winNT (DOS/3x/9x/ME). The autoexec feature in NT/2K/XP only provides backward compatability for non real mode applications (those that do not touch hardware). Whether is ...

I'm try to start DeepSleep DOS version 1.2 from autoexec.bat in WinXP Pro SP2, but it looks like it's not start sometimes.

Why can it occur?

Usually 600E floppy is robust as train's toilet. So I suggest do nothing until your new motherboard arrives. I you still after that keep having this floppy problem, let us know. After mother board replacement FDD works great! All troubles with USB, COM and IrDa also disapear! Now, I have a Mother B...

Need to find a dead 600/600E/600X board with an Intel 28F004 bios-EEPROM. Intel chip has longer pins, so it can be soldered piggybacking the original EEPROM as Sebi suggested. I have received a new mother board for my TP600E last week! Now, I have 2645-4AU Mother Board in my TP. Also, I have an old...

Dr. Morg: The file you posted is only an excerpt from the bios code. The bios is 512kb in size, not just 64kb. How did the tool create the file? There are parts of the bios code in the file, but not in the same order as they appear in the bios file. I've just upload !BIOS utility, also, BIOSDETCT u...

I'll inform you after installing new MB and connecting FDD. --- So, what about experimental MB? I'll have one for it ...

Sharedoc, the 2nd 28f004 comes from an almost dead 600e board, so it should be fine. Maybe the chip has been damaged upon desoldering or soldering to the board. I´ll try to get another chip and try again. What about your backup eeprom ? Did it work? Anybody else? Would be great to have a testing bo...

Hello All! I'm just bought floppy drive for my TP600E, but there is a problem to use it. FDD controller not start or maybe not work. I'm try to connect FDD as external bey, also as internal - it not take effect. In the IBM self test FDD icon disabled both ways (using internal or external bey). In Wi...

Is somebody installed MS Windows 2003 Server on TP600E? After installation I can not install PowerLeap and consequently, to enable L2 Cache!: ( Is there any other ways to enable L2 Cache? Also, I can not enabled a sound. Service Windows Audio has started, but in adjustments of a sound all options ar...

7.5 and 6 are the two SpeedStep multipliers for PIII-750 As I've wrote several messages ago, on my TP SpeedStep enabled after Windows complitely boot, but not depend on how it boot (battery or AC adaptor) it boots in low speed, than hi speed enable. How can I boot on battery only in low spped, but ...
