[ 2006-07-17 by aj ]
First BIOS release for the F14 Revision 01
BIOS Name .........: F14R1Q36.BIN
Changes ...........: - Added the support for the on-board PIC watchdog with F14
hardware Rev. 01.xx.xx
Known Issues ......: - 'Write-Protect-Handling' of the Firmware Hub is still
incorrect
-> BIOS Flashing often failed, even if the write-protect
is disabled!
Correction: Enter BIOS setup and change one unimportant
parameter e.g. 'Quick Power On Self Test' to "disabled";
save the setup and try to flash the BIOS once again

Changes ...........: - Added the Setup parameter Delay For HDD to the BIOS
Setup (Integrated Peripherals->Onboard IDE Devices).
This parameter adds a configurable delay before the
first access of a hard disk by the BIOS. Some hard
disks hang if accessed before they have initialized
themselves. This delay ensures the hard disk has
initialized after power up, prior to being accessed.

connected to the F14 the HDD-recognition of slow hard
disks failed
- The setup parameter 'LAN Boot ROM: 1 x' works incorrectly;
LAN Boot retries will be performed endlessly
