Installing a Boot PROM
The Little Board/486i can be configured for a boot PROM in two ways:
1. By installing the boot PROM in byte-wide socket S0.
2. By installing the boot PROM code in a 16K-portion set aside for it in the BIOS ROM at CC000h.
Installing a Boot PROM in Byte-Wide Socket S0
You may install a LAN boot PROM in byte-wide socket S0. The boot PROM code is run at boot time as
a “BIOS extension.” (This is a standard feature of a PC BIOS.) The BIOS scans certain areas of upper
memory looking for a trigger code of 55h AAh. When it finds this trigger code, it executes the boot
PROM code.
