Asus TX97-E motherboard BIOS version 0112e-1
    with patch J.2 for AMD K6-2+ and K6-III+ support,
    and for IDE HDDs up to 128GB (32GB bugfix).

The latest, and probably final, BIOS upgrade from Asus for the TX97-E is
version 0112e-1. This BIOS does not support the (mobile) K6-2+/III+ CPUs.
To overcome this problem, I have patched the 0112e-1 BIOS to include proper
recognition and handling of the K6-2+/III+.
I've made the following changes:
- Added detection of the K6-2+ and K6-III+ CPUs
- Expanded the various K6 support routines to be K6-2+/K6-III+ aware
- Changed the K6 Write Allocation feature to work also on the K6-2+/K6-III+
- Expanded the CPU Type display routine for correct display of the
  AMD-K6(tm)-2+ and AMD-K6(tm)-III+ strings
- Added 6.0 x 75 (450MHz) and 6.0 x 83.3 (500MHz) CPU speed indication support
  for FSB overclocking
  Deleted the unused 50 and 60 MHz support to make room for this change.

In addition I have applied Petr Soucek's patch to remove the 32GB IDE harddisk
limit bug, and made another patch to remove an additional 64GB limit bug.
This patch J.2 BIOS supports now IDE drives upto 128GB, provided the harddisks
TYPE and MODE are set on Auto for drives larger than 64GB. 
(Note: Due to another bug the BIOS SETUP hangs when manually inserting
HD parameters above 65535MB or when using the IDE HDD Auto Detection
function of the BIOS on drives larger than 64GB. Just set the Harddisks
TYPE and MODE to Auto for any drive above 64GB to avoid this error.)

For all other functions, my patched BIOS is identical to the original 0112e-1,
so you don't have to clear the CMOS if you upgrade from this BIOS.

The filename of the patched BIOS is 0112E_J2.BIN and you can flash it with
the flash program you normally use to flash a TX97-E BIOS upgrade.
Please take the usual precautions when flashing your BIOS.
Refer to Asus's web-site at http://www.asus.com/
if you need to download the AFLASH program.

Note that, although this patched BIOS has been tested on different TX97-E
systems without any problems, it is provided "as is" and you use it
at your own risk.

I like to thank everybody who participated in testing this BIOS.
Jan.
