BIOS release 1.6 for NF7/NF7-S        v1.0/V1.1
                                      NF7/NF7-S/NF7-M  v1.2 

Release information:

[ENGLISH]

0. Please use AWDFLASH 8.23D or later to update NF7 series BIOS. With 
   incorrect AWDFLASH version, the GUID will be erased, and leads to 
   IEEE1394 peer to peer function failed. AWDFLASH 8.23D is included in 
   this BIOS package. 
1. Update on chip VGA BIOS to v4.1F.00.07.13 (for NF7-M only).
2. Fix share memory allocation issue for NF7-M when AGP card installed.
3. Fix fail to create DMI Pool data when CPUID=064X CPU installed.
4. Fix booting failure issue for Corsair TwinX-3200LL and CMX256A-3200LL
   memory modules.
5. Revise the DDR frequency reading during POST.
6. Update on board Serial ATA BIOS to v4.2.12 (for NF7-S only). Please also
   update Serial ATA driver to 1.0.0.28.
7. Disable power button temporarily when update BIOS. This is to protect
   BIOS data from corrupt if pushing power button during BIOS flashing.
8. Fix the problem that CPU core voltage reading is a little lower in PC
   Health page; meanwhile, the Hardware Monitoring tool needs to be updated
   to "HWM_NF7V16.EXE" together with BIOS update.
9. Correct the "Battery Voltage" wording to "3.3V Dual Voltage" in PC Health;
   meanwhile, the Hardware Monitoring tool needs to be updated to
   "HWM_NF7V16.EXE" together with BIOS update.
10. Change the maximum CPU FSB from 200 to 250 MHz in SoftMenu.
11. BIOS Compile Date: 2/27/2003.

   不適當版本的 AWDFLASH 程式，會消除 GUID 並導致 IEEE1394 peer to peer
   功能失效。 AWDFLASH 8.23D 已包含在本 BIOS 自解檔案中。
1. 更新內建 VGA BIOS 為 v4.1F.00.07.13 (適用 NF7-M)。
2. 修正 NF7-M 插上 AGP 顯示卡時造成共享記憶體定址問題。
3. 修正安裝 CPUID 為 064X 之 CPU 時建立 DMI Pool data 失敗。
4. 修正使用 Corsair TwinX-3200LL 及 CMX256A-3200LL 記憶體模組無法開機。
5. 修正 POST 時讀取 DDR 頻率。
6. 更新內建 Serial ATA BIOS 為 v4.2.12 (適用 NF7-S). 請一併更新Serial 
   ATA 驅動程式至 1.0.0.28.
7. 更新 BIOS 時暫時取消 power button 功能。這是為了保護 BIOS 資料以防止
   在更新時誤按。
8. 修正 CPU 核心電壓稍低於 PC Health。同時，硬體監測程式請一併更新至 
   "HWM_NF7V16.EXE"。
9. 在 PC Health 中修正 "Battery Voltage" 字串為 "3.3V Dual Voltage"。同時，
   硬體監測程式請一併更新至 "HWM_NF7V16.EXE"。
10. 在 SoftMenu 中將最高 CPU 外頻由 200 提高為 250MHz.
11. BIOS 日期: 2/27/2003。


*********************************  NOTE  *********************************

1. How to upgrade BIOS:

 a. Boot into MS-DOS or "Safe mode and command prompt" if you are using 
    Windows95/98
 b. Run "nf715.exe" to extract all files.
 c. Run "runme.bat"

   ***  Please notice that we suggest you flashing the bios with switches 

           "/py /sn /cd /cp /cc /cks /R" or by "runme.bat".
