========================================================================
9/14/00 - Napalm Ver. 1.18
Fixed bug with all extended modes coming up corrupted when going into
extended mode. Bug is with Napalm2 SGRAMMODE value being programming
into Napalm.
Fixes PRS#15511
* OEM.INC *
Made the SGRAMMODE register setting coniditional compile for Napalm
and Napalm2. Fixes problem with Napalm2 SGRAMMODE setting being used
on Napalm.
Fixes PRS#15511
========================================================================
9/12/00 - Napalm Ver. 1.17
Updated the BIOS build options to match the Napalm BOM in MRD ver 1.19.
* OEM.INC *
Removed the build option for the V5P901 AGP/SD/166MHz/No TV/No DVI/2 Way.
Change the MCLK for V5P848 to 166MHz.
Added a BIOS option for V4P906 AGP/SD/143MHz/No TV/No DVI/Single chip.
========================================================================
8/18/00 - Napalm Ver. 1.16 & Napalm2 Ver. 1.04
1) Fixed errors in BIOS default extended mode timings.
2) Fixed bug with BIOS GTF register programming routine.
3) Condensed the board name strings.
Napalm2 only changes.
1) Fixed bug in memory sizing routine.
2) Updated PCI device ID to 0Bh
3) Put in memory timings for 100MHz MCLK.
* DATA.ASM *
Added conditional compiled code to only print the string "Supported "
after the board name when compiling a TV and/or LCD BIOS.
* BIOSPARM.INC *
Updated the horizontal and vertical sync start and and positions for the
following modes: 640x400, 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, and
80x60 (Mode 108h).

Updated the horizontal and vertical sync start and and positions for the
following modes: 320x200, 320x240, 400x300, and 512x384.
* OEM.ASM *
In OEMGetMemSize, saved the memory size in AX. This is a Napalm2 change
only.
In OEMFixupCRTC, decreased the vertical sync start and end values by one.
Only decreaced the horizontal sync start and end value by one when not
doing a 1024x768 mode.
Created the routine CheckIf1024Mode to check if we're a 1024x768 mode.
If 1024x768 mode, zero flag is set.
* OEMPOST.ASM *
In InitRegisters, change the Napalm2 DramInit0 register mask to
072000000h DramInit1 register mask to 0C3000000h. Added Napalm2 code
to do a mode set to the memory and to the DLLs on the DDR memory
only.
* OEM.INC *
Change the Napalm2 memory clock to 100MHz.
Shortened all the STR_OEMPRODUCT strings for the TV and LCD BIOSs.
Removed the words "with" and "support" from the string.
For example, changed the LCD BIOS from "Voodoo4 4800 with LCD support "
to "Voodoo4 4800 LCD ".
Added memory clock PLL settings for 210MHz, 200MHz, 170MHz, 125MHz, and
100MHz.
Changed the Napalm2 device ID to 0Bh.
Created Napalm2 conditional compiled code for DramInit settings.
For MCLKs below 143MHz, the following is used:
DEFAULT_DRAMINIT0 equ 0807FE9A9h
DEFAULT_DRAMINIT1 equ 040034031h
For MCLKs above or equal to 143MHz, the following is used:
DEFAULT_DRAMINIT0 equ 0807FE9A9h
DEFAULT_DRAMINIT1 equ 040030031h
Changed the Napalm2 DEFAULT_SGRAMMODE setting to 00002000h
========================================================================
8/14/00 - Napalm Ver. 1.15 & Napalm2 Ver. 1.03
Decreased the ampount time it took to execute video POST.
For a BIOS with no copyright message, video POST when from ~191 mSec to
~155 mSec.
* INIT.ASM *
In InitInfoVars, modified the setmode calls to not clear the screen and
only initilize the registers.
In the MonitorDetect routine, routine the code which initilizes the
RAMDAC to 00h. A setmode call later in POST will re-initilize the DAC
to it's default value.
* OEMPOST.ASM *
In Patch32KRom, optimized the checksum routine to not reload the added
ROM during each iteration of the loop. Started the ROM address at 00h
and had the LODSB automaticlly increament the address.

the VESA/STB spec for this mode.
Fixes PRS#14384
