Neues Beta-BIOS für die Abit KT7 Reihe (Ver. 3r02)

Abit bietet wieder einmal ein neues Beta-BIOS für die Boards der KT7-Reihe. Folgende Infos gibt es zur Version 3r02:

Beta bios for KT7/KT7-RAID/KT7A/KT7A-RAID/KT7E

Based on beta BIOS KT7_3R.B01

Update BIOS code.

Enhance ISA PnP compatibility.

Enhance SCSI adapters compatibility.

Add 1400(133) Athlon support for KT7A/KT7A-RAID.

Add new option "1200 above" for high speed Athlons with 100FSB. KT7/KT7-RAID/KT7A/KT7A-RAID/KT7E only support 1.4G(100) Athlon with L1 bridges disconnected. Check L1 before you buy a CPU please!

For Creative SBLive 5.1 sound card users, you may try these options while experience sound quality issue.

- PCI master read caching, default setting=Disabled
- PCI master time-out, Default setting=1
Setting above options to Disabled/3 will lead to the same result with VIA Latency patch V0.14 and may help SB Live 5.1 sound issue. If the system experiences low performance after these settings, enable the "PCI master read caching" please.

Change HPT BIOS to 1.20.0612 for KT7-RAID/KT7A-RAID. This BIOS version is also for non RAID boards and HPT BIOS will be automatically disabled while RAID controller chip not detected.

Enhance the high speed 133FSB Athlon stability for KT7A/KT7A-RAID.

Side effect: CPU temperature becomes higher, about 50 degree C while gets into Windows 2000 and ME. Solution: Overwrite offset 52 bit 7 to "1". This can be done by special utilities WPCREDIT and WPCRSET.

BIOS compile date: 07/02/2001
