thanks again Rainbow for your answers and are a great help.

When I was flashing my bios all went well as you know - thanks again, but in pre-preparation I was reading the jumper manual just to see how to clear the cmos in case I needed it ...but besides that I noticed the CPU Clock Pin Selection for all the different cpu speeds.. ..here's my question: I have...

I decided to give it a go, but I used the switches anyway since they came with the instructions along with the flash file I used. (i'm still cu...

The 32GB limitation should be fixed in all BIOSes later than 7/1999. I think that it's not listed there because it was fixed in a previous release. Hi Rainbow, Is it your experience then that newer bios upgrades all inclusive.. ..iow, would this Tza1101b.bin 11/3/1999 upgrade contain all the previo...
