Summary:  Instructions for using boot block recovery procedure to
          restore BIOS code to flash chip on GW2K Anigma BAT
          motherboard.
======================================================================

The Anigma BAT is a 486 PCI motherboard. The part number BAT486ip is
silkscreend onto the underside of the front right corner of the
board. There may be a bar code sticker on the top side board (between
the ISA slots) containing the serial number and part number in the
form * GTY BAT486IP xxxxxxxxx *. The original BIOS version is Phoenix
A486 Version 1.03. 

The boot block procedure is normally used if the BIOS code in the
flash chip is corrupt or erased (usually resulting in a black screen
on poweron), or if the wrong BIOS code has been flashed into the chip.
This procedure may also be required if the boot block jumper has
accidentally been moved.

The procedure requires a valid recovery disk, normally created during
installation of a flash BIOS upgrade.

We do not have a BIOS upgrade for this board at this time and do not
know of any other BIOS version for this board. We do have a patch for
the original BIOS (available on our web site), which adds support for
the Intel Pentium Overdrive CPU. The installation program for this
patch will automatically create a recovery disk for the original BIOS.
This recovery disk is also available on Micro Firmware's FTP site and
BBS as filename BATRD.EXE, which is a self-extracting ZIP file
containing a self-extracting diskette image of the recovery disk, a
README file, and this file.

Boot Block Recovery Procedure:
.
1.  Turn system off

2.  Move boot-block jumper J29 to pins 1-2.
    (J29 is located at the top of the bank of jumpers just to the
    right of the CPU socket).

3.  Insert recovery disk.

4.  Turn system on.
    In a few seconds, the diskette drive light will come on.
    A few seconds later, the speaker will beep once or twice.
    Diskette access light will remain on, the following text will
    be displayed onscreen:

      Installing BIOS from Recovery Disk.
      When the process is finished the diskette drive light will
      turn off and the system will beep 4 times.
      You will then need to remove the Recovery Disk from the drive
      and power off or press the reset switch to restart your computer.

    This process will take about 4 minutes.

5.  After 4 beeps, turn system off, remove diskette. (If diskette is
    left in drive and allowed to boot - the flash chip will be wiped
    out and process must be repeated.)

6.  Move jumper J29 back to pins 2-3.

7.  Turn system on, setup CMOS.
.
The recovery diskette has its own operating system on it and also has
a special boot sector. Since it has a non-DOS boot sector, it cannot
be duplicated by just copying the files to another diskette. It can be
duplicated by using the DOS DISKCOPY command.
