 You used System 5000 at home ? Is it right ? It’s very costly solution.
How many PC’s and file servers work at your home ? ATM is backbone for home
network ?
Write us about your networks. We are all fascinated ! 
Sorry, in this time I have only HSSI router module for sale (but if you
need to connect your home with super-speed channel to Internet, HSSI is
preferred solution for these).

The suspense is over, I was able to remove the Bios 4.0Eval. But it
tooks some tries. when I was trying to install a previous Bios it
just would hang on the load of the Bios from the disk. Only
reinstalling Bios 4.0E went alright. Then I tried :
        awdflash ntmaw40e /Py /Sn /CC
I rebooted the system. It had lost all it’s CMOS settings (disk,time,
powersaving,chipset,pnp). Then I was able to install a previous Bios.

In the meantime I had asked my HW supplier to send me a new Bios
and I received a floppy this morning with two Bios that are NOT
on Tyan’s ftp/web site.

Information I collected on the floppy my HW supplier send me
to fix my Award Bios problem. The person I talked with on the phone
wasn’t very clear, but this revision of the Bios should be fixing
the problem the Tyan S1668 and Award BIOS has with the DEC chip on
the Adaptec 3940UW PCI Bridge. I’ll try to install this Award Bios
that I would call version 2.2a, as it’s more recent than the 2.2
file NTMAWD22.BIN, but it uses the same BIOS revision dated 06/14/96.
If you want I can make this Bios available to you.

I installed this Award Bios 2.2a on my Tyan S1668 board. And it fixed
my Bios 4.0E bug under 95 where the mouse corrupts the screen and my
Matrox Millenium wasn’t recognized anymore.
I will try to reinstall Windows NT 4.0 workstation once I get my
PCI and it’s PnP IRQ settings under control again. ( I don’t
understand
how these IRQ are assigned under PCI)

Below are some researches I did earlier today about the different
Bioses and checksums on them.

This all started with the Titan Pro S1668 ATX Motherboard with a Dual
PPro configuation, NT 4.0 and the Adaptec 3940UW.
It would not recognize the second SCSI channel of the 3940UW under
NT 4.0 and Windows 95 OSR2.

Here goes …
WARNING !!! I installed BIOS 4.0E and I cannot move back to 3.03 !!!!

1)
Installation of the BIOS went without problems, but it changed one
setting for sure, the Boot setting. It would not boot directly from
the floppy, and I had to change the settings. Look at all those
nice settings: A,C,D,SCSI,CDROM
The ‘Verifying DMI Pool Data’ wasn’t present before (I think).

2)
Installing the NT Server 4.0 (1381) with the BIOS 4.0E 2/19/97 on a
Dual PentiumPro/256kb brings up a Blue Screen as below when the
screen resolution changed and the real NT kernel is activated
 (screen shows version,memory,build)

3)
Installing the NT Workstation 4.0 (1381) with the BIOS 4.0E 2/19/97 on

a Dual PentiumPro/256kb in the same conditions as just above gives the

same result : Blue Screen with different settings for the memory
allocations. Should be insteresting to see if NT 3.51 crahses as well.

4)
Booting with the Windows 95 OSR2 system already caused some graphics
problems, but they might have come from the fact that I interupted
95 in it’s boot process twice the hard way.
4.0E seems to allow the using of the USB port. But having two Matrox
Millenium screws up the IRQ settings. It would be nice to have a
setting to choose which IRQ the Serial Bus would use. I might need
to remove one.

At this stage I cannot move back to the BIOS 3.03 !!!!!

        more adventures to follow very soon…

[Later…]

My adventures in BIOS land continue…

There is a new Award Flash Utility, but you can’t find it on
Tyan’s site nor on Award. I found it on http://soyo.com.tw/bios.htm
page. It’s the Award Flash Utility 5.33 writer. The directory also
contains a DMICFG program for DOS. Interesting.

The upgrade to BIOS 4.0E has completly screwed up my Windows 95 OSR2
graphic part. It will not detect my Matrox Millenium card anymore
(I even removed the second card as it was conflicting with the USB)

NT 4.0 (srv & wks) still crashes during the second setup disk.

And I cannot move back from the 4.0E Bios to the 3.03 Bios. Maybe
the Award Flash program doesn’t allow the move back to a older
BIOS revision.
Well I’m going to call my motherboard supplier for a new Bios chip.

I’m running now the EMWAC HTTPS 0.96 server on port 8080, and I’m now
testing the Alibaba beta 4 on port 80, both servers work fine on the same
machine. But getting two copies of HTTPS to work on the same machine ?
I would not know…
