BIOS ROM checksum error


I have inserted a floppy with awdflash and a bios like it asks but it just doesnt do anything when updating bios. the led lights have "41" but in manual just says reserved.

Boot with a dos boot disk, and use awdflash with the /LD switch to flash the bios, it will destroy the checksum on reboot and allow you to reflash properly...

awdflash XXXXXX.bin /LD

make sure you use version 8.22a of awdflash

Phat, have you tried adding awdflash to the boot disk and putting awdflash xxxxxx.bin /ld in the autoexec?

dunno if that works, but its what I would try...
