PTIFLASH EXE            PTI Flash BIOS Utility

================
Software Version
================
Promise Technology, Inc. Flash BIOS Utility v 1.02 Build 2

==========
Directions
==========
Run PTIFLASH.EXE utility from a clean, DOS boot (NO EMM386.EXE, MUST be clean boot).

1) Use menu options to SAVE a binary image of the current Flash BIOS to disk

Promise recommends storing a backup of the present Flash BIOS prior to updating the
Flash with a new BIOS.

You may load 'xxxxxxxx.bin' files to/from your floppy diskette or other drive letter
source. To specify filenames for load/save you must type in the FULL path, ex:

A:\U33110.BIN


2) LOAD a new binary image of a Flash BIOS from disk

3) EXIT the utility.
