The new BIOS

[Kristian]

Hello

I have the G400 MAX, and I wonder if there is any idea updating the BIOS using the Unified BIOS #104.
In the specs for the BIOS the MAX doesn't seem to be covered - is this the case?

Regards
Kristian

Just go for it ...

even though the MAX is not explicitly listed, it will be updated.

Hi Kristian,

BIOS updates usually address problems, so I like to keep them up to date even if I am experiencing no problems. </a> The notes.txt ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/bios/104notes.txt from Matrox's site covers fixes with the 1.04 release.

The MAX just uses the MGA G400 BIOS update, no special name on it. </a> Just follow all instructions in the readme file contained in the mgafolder after you expand the bios_104 file </a>

Before you update BIOS, make an emergency disk with a backup of your BIOS just in case something goes wrong. </a> That is covered in page two of the readme. Page 7 covers the updating, with choices of in DOS or Win 9x/NT 4.0 environment.

So keep us posted! </a>

In the information section my bios is listed as 1.5-22 do I have the latest one?
