Eliminate "?" marks in Win95
Intel has introduced 430TX/440LX/440BX chipset with latest feature of "ACPI", "USB" & "Ultra
DMA/33". Since these devices are so new that Win95 did not anticipate to support them on
Aug. of '95 which Win'95 initially is being released. To solve this problem, AOpen software
team spends few weeks to develop an utility -- AOchip.exe. You can find this utility in the
bundled CD title or from our web site. It is very user friendly and can be used on any TX/LX/BX
motherboard, not limited to AOpen's motherboard. For using this utility, simply run aochip.exe.
Installing Ultra DMA/33 Driver
You need the bus master IDE driver and the bus master IDE HDD to support bus master IDE
mode. This driver is available in the bundled CD or our web. You may run setup.exe directly to
install this program.
Warning:
Installing this driver may cause Suspend to Hard Drive failure.
CPU Thermal Protection
When CPU temperature is higher than a predefined value, the CPU speed will automatically
slow down and the PC speaker will beep. To work with this feature, AOpen software team
develop an Hardware Monitor Utility, which can help you monitor the CPU temperature and
voltage. This program is available in the bundled CD title or our homepage.
