[Wolves] bios upgrade

[Mark Ellse]

A couple of random thoughts and possibilities.

1.	BIOS incorrect. Get another machine, download BIOS again, use BIOS 
upgrade utility on boot floppy to redo BIOS upgrade.

2.	BIOS upgraded correctly. Memory incompatible with new BIOS. Some 
older BIOS requires different settings for different memory. Try 
resetting the CMOS, either by loading defaults from setup or, worth 
doing, by discharging the CMOS with the motherboard jumper.

3.	Something else has happened at the same time. Try going back to the 
old BIOS and see if it works. (You did backup the old bios to floppy 
when you were offered the chance didn't you?)

4.	Why did you upgrade the BIOS. Was the machine working? Was there an 
incompatibility? Many BIOS upgrade programs, aware that 
incompatibilities are more frequent than we would like, advise not to 
upgrade the BIOS unless something doesn't work.
