one more question to get this straight.

im going to be booting to a brand new hard drive and with aid 3.1. first i have to flash the bios, and every X3 chip comes with flashbios? is that correct, and that is on the back up rom memory? do i have to do anything special for the chip to boot to flashbios initially or will it just do it, and do i have to have my switches set to 1Mb prior to the boot, or after i boot to flashbios, then switch them to 1 Mb and load the bios?

thanks

I'm pretty sure thats brightness adjustment for the LCD (if you have one).

Flasbios is on every bank of a new X3, including the backup ROM. To flash correctly, you should have the switches set to on, on, off, off, and use a 1Mb bios image. After flashing u can switch them all off (but I recommend keeping flash protect on, just in case).

You shouldn't flash anything but flashbios on the backup rom. That way you can recover if you need.

Hope this helps Smile

Use WinRar to decompress the 1mb BIOS file.

I know but since someone else started to help might as well put in input in on it.

Seems like a lot of people are dragging up old topics lately Confused
