(-1 for TCCD/Micron/UTT-CH/UTT-BH/BH/CH This is the general bios that should work ok but is not optimized for any specific memory, -3 for TCCD/Micron, -2 for UTT-CH/UTT-BH/BH/CH)
Bios flash guide (Thank Pershoot for these flash guides)
Bootable Floppy (Self Xtracting EXE) DOS Image w./ 310 Final:
http://indabasement.com/DFINF4/bios/...310_PUBLIC.exe
Insert floppy -> Double click .exe -> follow the prompt (you can just hit ok, defaults should be fine) -> when booting off floppy at the A: prompt to flash to 310 -> type flash and hit enter.
Bootable CDROM (ISO) DOS Image w./ All Bios Revisions to Date (4/1/05):
http://indabasement.com/DFINF4/bios/DFI_BIOSROM.rar
ex: To Burn With Nero: Launch Nero -> Burn -> Image (nero6) or File -> Burn Image (nero5). Set First Boot to CDROM -> Follow On Screen Instructions to Flash.
How-To Flash Bios:
grab a bootable pure dos floppy disk (you can download dos image with 310 public release (NOT the "P" performance/beta version, but final version) on it, to be written to floppy above OR download bootable CDROM image w./ all bioses OR you can make one through your operating system: right click a: in my computer -> format -> check make ms dos startup disk) and place awdflash and bios file on this floppy. these can be found (dos flash util and bios file) above.
enter bios -> load optimised defaults -> y->save -> boot off disk -> follow flash instructions in the .txt that comes with awdflash.rar OR type 'flash' at A:, if using bootable dos image w./ 310 on it OR follow on screen instructions if using bootable CDROM image. If using the 'awdflash.rar method', remember to replace BIOSFILE.BIN with bios filename (awd859e BIOSFILE.BIN /py /sn /cd /cp /cc /LD /R /f) -> after it is done, it will reset on its own -> after reset, enter bios -> load optimized defaults->y->save->after POST finishes -> shutdown ->switch off PSU -> unplug -> wait for yellow lights to turn off -> press power a few times-> set clear CMOS jumper -> wait for 10 minutes->set jumper back -> plug in ->switch on -> power up -> enter bios -> load optimised defaults -> now configure your bios.
You guys can thank NiCKE^ for all of the bios info

P.S fell free to point out ANY mistakes and PM me if there is a bios that I have missed.

Yeah, very nice work indeed, now we need someone to test all the BIOS versions to find out best for TCCD and BH-5..........
