Binary Image Description

The Flash drive images for each product are used at Technlogic Systems to program each computer prior to test and shipment. These binary images can be used to return a computer to the factory default state if Flash drive corruption occurs or a needed utility is lost. Because the images are 1:1 binary images they require as much space as the drive itself and must be stored on some other media during the flashup procedure, usually DiskOnChip or Compact Flash.

To determine the BIOS version of our computers watch the BIOS messages when the unit is first powered on, note the bios date in the lower left of the config box or run a:\util\sbc-test.exe from the DOS prompt.
