CHANGE HISTORY

Version 8.10  06-30-2000

• Power management controlling power consumption and temperature has been improved.

Version 8.00  02-08-2000

• A change was made to support Windows 2000.
• Corrected a problem where having the "USB Legecy=Enabled" set in the BIOS, and entering some keys on a Japanese USB keyboard, was impossible.
• Correct a rare problem when printing a text file from a DOS shell in Windows 95.
• Corrected a rare problem witht eh HDD password. When the HDD password was registered, and the computer set to standby mode, resuming the computer would lead to a blue screen error.
• Corrected a problem when running Windows 2000. If VGA segment address was set to E4000h, a blue screen error would occur
• Corrected a problem while running the HCT test. In the ACPI test, the CPU Throttle subtest would result in a false error.
• Corrected a problem while running the HCT test. In the ACPI Test, executing the USB subtest would result in a false error.
• When copying a file from a 120MB FDD, using a Super Disk (LS-120), while running Windows 95/98, and then attempting to open that file under DOS mode, caused files, in excess of 50MB, to be corrupted.
• Corrected a problem where having the "USB Legecy=Enabled" set in the BIOS, and entering the "Pause" key several times caused the key to repeat on it's own.
• Corrected a problem when the Power ON/OFF was set to Enable, and system goes into Hibernation with the LCD panel closed. If an AC Adaptor was connected after opening the display panel, the computer would "wake up" on its own.
• Corrected a problem of installing a driver from the FDD. Installing a driver was impossible when a new device was detected during Windows 98 installation.
• Corrected a problem that when, after preinstalling Windows 95/98, executing hibernation without shutting down the system resulted in intermittent hibernation error.
• The control method of the system status (Sx) was changed.

Version 7.80  02-22-1999

• Corrected a problem in Windows '98 with a hang when operating under ACPI mode. C3 state function was disabled completely.

Version 7.70  12-07-1998

• Corrected a problem where the system would hang under ACPI mode of Win98 when going into a C3 state.
• Corrected a problem with systems using a Sharp LCD, where the entire screen becomes white when it is set to standby mode.
• Corrected a problem where, when using an incorrect key floppy diskette, the password would be canceled.
• Corrected a problem where, after hibernation is executed one time, the hibernation will continue to work even though the hibernation setting was canceled.
• Corrected a problem where some PC cards don't work under Win2000. This is caused by a mis-match of PCMCIA data between the IRQ routing table and the hardware.
• Corrected a problem where suspending or resuming the system under Win95 or Win98 would lead to an all white or all black LCD.

Version 7.60  09-09-1998

• On the Satellite 4020, the time from power-on to receiving the external KB initialization end code was shortened to 2.5 seconds.
• Corrected a problem with the system hanging during the power on sequence if the system is set to CardBus/16 bit mode, with an R2 card (such as a modem card) installed in the system.
• Corrected a problem where, under Windows NT, disconnecting the AC adapter with the system set to Display Auto Off, the display would turn on.
• Corrected a possible problem with a system shutdown, even if the CPU module's ambient temperature does not reach the point of system shutdown.

Version 7.40  11-18-1998

• Initial Production BIOS for Satellite 4000/4005
