==========================
By Rainbow Software 2001 (http://rainbow.ht.st)

BIOS ID String: 01/13/1999-i430FX-2A59CQ1ZC-<QDI>-00

Features:
 - Three years newer than latest original BIOS
 - Booting from CD-ROM and SCSI
 - Contains NCR SCSI BIOS
 - HDD low level format
 - PS/2 mouse support
 - Support HDDs upto 32GB (doesn't work as it should, shows 30GB, but FDISK
   displays only 8.4GB)
 - ESCD v1.2 and DMI v1.2 support
 - APM v1.2 support
 - QDI logo

Known limitations:
 - Onboard gameport doesn't work

This BIOS is based on Atrend ATC-1000 BIOS v2.50.
I modified following:
 - changed the BIOS ID string to QDI
 - changed DMI information to QDI
 - changed the EPA Energy Star logo to QDI
 - disabled PS/2 mouse support because this board doesn't support PS/2 mouse


Installation
------------
Check that you have QDI P5I437/FMB motherboad. There's "P5I437P4IO/FMB V1.0
(S1.3)" written under the last ISA slot. The board has Intel 430FX chipset.

Create a boot disk using DOS/Windows95/Windows98. Delete drvspace.bin and
dblspace.bin (if they are there). Put UNIFLASH.EXE there and also P5I437FM.BIN
Boot from the floppy.

Use UniFlash to flash P5I437FM.BIN (Awdflash can also work, but I haven't
tested it!). Go to Advanced submenu and flash INCLUDING bootblock! After
flashing completes successfully, reset the system using RESET button. Go to
BIOS setup using <DEL> load SETUP defaults - that loads the fastest values
everywhere.

If your system is not stable, try increasing DRAM timing.
