----- PB450M PCI PnP x1.0A Release notes (01/27/95) -----
1. Fixed a bug that wasn't clearing the floppy perpendicular mode for
drives other than 2.88M. This fixes the floppy format problem
reported by PB Hong Kong.
2. Fixed a floppy bug, for functions 1-5, that didn't return the
correct number of sectors in al, when the requested number of
sectors was equal to the max number of sectors per track.
3. P24T Processor support added. (in Write-Thru Mode only)
4. DX4 100 5V Processor support added.
5. Set floppy default as A: 1.44MB and B: None.
6. Fixed bug that was leaving video bios shadow ram
unwrite-protected at boot.
7. Modifed code to maintain previous PB450PC langauge support.
----- PB450M PCI PnP x1.09 Release notes (10/12/94) -----
1. Fixed bug that would display spurious characters accross
the screen instead of "100MHz" when a DX4 100 is installed.
----- PB450M PCI x1.08 Release notes (09/29/94) -----
1. Set Cache Read 'Lead-off Cycle' Wait State Control
to always be 3-X-X-X, no matter what the CPU type
is.
2. Fixed ZDS MKDSK.EXE problem #121.
3. Fixed Novell Certificaton Disk problem.
4. When Floppy check is DISABLED in setup the
following message is displayed by the BIOS.
Autotyping adapter 0 master ... Autotype Failed
After researching this problem, we found that only Western
Digital drives are failing post autotyping. The reason that
only WD drives fail, is that they always reset the BUSY bit
immediately after a reset command; however, after the power
up phase has completed they set the DRIVE READY bit. This is
different than most other drives. Usually the BUSY bit is reset
after the drive has spun up. The reason that this problem occurs,
when Floppy check is DISABLED, is simply that the drive has not
had time to complete its power up by post autotyping. We have
modified the BIOS to check both the BUSY bit and DRIVE READY bit.
This will ensure that the drive will be recognized during post
autotyping.
5. During power up, the HDD post routine doesn't wait the
required 30 seconds after a reset drive.
This has been fixed.
6. The HDD Landing Zone and Write Precomp are setup correctly
during post auto typing.
----- PB450M PCI x1.07 Release notes (09/06/94) -----
1. Post Auto type will fail non-existent drives
quickly instead of waiting 20 seconds. This is
done by checking the alternate status register for
FFh.
2. Fixed INT 13H Fn 00, 0D (Fixed Disk Reset)
to return only after drive is not Busy.
3. First production release.
