Yoh Jinno send me the follow message concerning the new 6VBA 133 BIOS.

Unfortunately, SOYO did not test this new fixed bios properly.
1: Under NTFS, Windows 2000 - fresh install works.
2: Under FAT32, Windows 2000...fresh installs fails -exactly the same as before.
I cannot change resolution from 640 to higher resolutions. ATI All IN WONDER 128
Also, noticed that some registry can never be properly saved..thus, Event Viewer
shows tons of problems with fresh install.

So again, I went back to BIOS Revision 6VBA-2BA3.

Note: If Bios was replaced with Windows 2000 already installed.
Windows 2000 seems working ok.
So it is still very dangerous ....
For example...you bought a new mother board...and try to install a new OS (Windows 2000)
You got a system with this motherboard...and OS was preinstalled (mostlikely...not a regular install..but
image type installation.) and you must reformat hard disk to do a fresh install.
