Yoh Jinno send once again words that the new Soyo bios cause problems under Windows 2000.
6VBA 133 BIOS files
file name: vba-2baa.bin
checksum: 51D7
release date: 08/29/2000
BIOS revision: 6VBA-2BAA
Changes: Fixed register DIMM can´t boot with 133 frequency. Add "PhoenixNet
enable/disable" function. Support Cyrix III.
----Result: Soyo did it again
3rd time in a row..what a great fix.
This time: Windows 2000 ...finds no Floppy disk Drive at boot, and it
installs a driver....asks me to reboot
....OK..reboot...the same situation.
I put my old bios back. vba-2ba3.bin ---SEEMS THIS IS THE MOST STABLE BIOS
EVER ISSUED BY SOYO.
No more missing floppy drive under windows 2000.
For Fairness? It works fine with Windows 98. (As I dual boot)
past problem
1: Windows 2000 ...cannot remember resolution registry esp ATI 128 graphics
card ( mine is ATI ALL IN WONDER 128 16MB)
and it turns out that it has difficulty in keeping correct registry
information from various applications.
2: Now the above problem has been fixed...but if Windows 2000 resides on
FAT32, registry shall be corrupted so easily.
3: I did not test.
4: 6VBA-2BAA --- See problem above. Windows 2000 FAT 32 drive, Floppy
Drive problem.
