    ARC version 4.59
        Run the PCI configurator on both warm and cold boot.  Previously, PCI 
                configurator was run only on cold boot.  This was causing hangs
                in warm restarts of Windows NT after Microsoft made changes to
                their builds.

                  Fix TGA8 problem that causes ARC machines to boot with different colors.
                  Save correct SCSI ID when saved in ARC

    Firmware 4.52.  Remove most of the capabilities in the firmware monitor for
                    RETAIL builds. This reduces the firmware size so we can
                    build the Gamma firmware.
                    Update the Mylex driver.
                    Update the QLogic driver.
                    Add hook in the configurator for ATI Mach64 adapters to fix
                    graphics problems seen during testing.

    Firmware 4.41. This version will allow manufacturing to run an SRM
    diagnostic program as a stream of bits by selecting "Install new firmware"
    from the Supplementary menu. The file must be named "srm_diag.jls".

    Firmware 4.38. This version incorporates a new BIOS emulator, V1.15, that
    supports the Matrox Storm card. It also will create a different boot
    selection on a "Reset to factory defaults." This new boot selection will
    boot a 3.51 FIS disk.

    Revision history:

    Firmware 4.37.  This version of the firmware will
    look for the filename "xlupdate.exe" when the user
    selects "Install new firmware" on the Alpha XL.
    Xlupdate will be called like a normal arcapp, and
    it will be maintained at DECwest.  Xlupdate makes
    callbacks to the firmware to make sure that it is
    running on an Alpha XL.  It will not run on any
    other system.  It will also look in the CD directory
    "ALPHAXL."  The Avanti-class machines will behave
    as they did before, and call "fwupdate.exe" as a
    stream of bits to be loaded at 0x900000.

    Firmware 4.35. This version of the firmware has
    added support for the Alpha XL. It is the minimum
    required version for all Alpha XL systems.  It
    should be used in conjuction with the new SROM that
    will write the family ID for the Alpha XL at physical
    memory location 0x88.

    It also contains a few minor changes to the user
    interface. (Non-terminal menu items end in "...", and
    the menu item "Switch to OpenVMS or Digital UNIX..."
    is not displayed for Alpha XL, or the PowerGrade.)

    Please note that avflash.exe will not work on Alpha XL
    systems unless this version has already been flashed in.
    It will work properly on Avanti, Mustang, M3 and
    PowerGrade systems

    Revision History:

    Firmware 4.28 reverts back to enabling the ROM Bios of
    PCI cards so that the Windows NT 3.51 video drivers
    will work.  This version should be used for the release
    of the next CD.

    Language files: \\ntnone\avanti$\language\v102

    Firmware 4.27 contains a new BIOS Emulator, V1.13.
    It also turns on refresh signals for the ISA bus.
    This version should be used as the release for
    the next CD.

    UPDATE:  Firmware release 4.27 WILL NOT WORK with
    version 3.51 of NT.  This version should no longer
    be tested or distributed.

    Firmware 4.26.  This version of the ARC firmware contains
    a fix for the Mylex miniport driver that is necessary
    for Chinet.  It *does not* contain a fix for the ISA
    refresh signals.

    Firmware 4.23.  This firmware fixes an NT installation
    problem with loading the NCRC810 driver.  It also
    incorporates the Dac960 and QLogic miniport drivers,
    and implements the allocation of the System Parameter
    Block differently.

    Firmware 4.22  This firmware has a new "Machine specific
    setup" menu.  It uses radio buttons, and it double
    checks with the user when he/she turns parity checking
    on.

    Firmware 4.21.  This firmware fixes the problem with
    the ImpressionPlus Matrox card.  It contains a new
    BIOS Emulator, v1.11.  It is also the first release
    with the new numbering scheme - A.BC

    Firmware 4.1-24p.  This is a preliminary release for
    testing in Scotland.  It fixes the problem with
    unicode output on a serial line.

    Firmware 4.1-23.  This release fixes the problem
    of not setting the autoboot when reseting the
    system to factory defaults.

        contains the latest language files. (v101)

        Firmware 4.0-21. This release contains a fix for the
        problem with the new Mustang riser card.  It also
        includes language font files and translated messages
        necessary for internationalization of firmware
        messages.  (v101)

        Firmware 3.5-20. This release contains support for 
        interationalization of firmware messages.  It does not
        include language font files and translated messages.

        Firmware 3.5-19. This contains V1.10 of the BIOS emulator which
        supports ATI Mach64 video cards.

        Firmware 3.5-18. This is a releasable version of 3.5-18s. 

        Firmware 3.5-18s. This is an experimental release that should work
        on the new SIGMA motherboard. It also has BIOS emulator that works
        on Diamond Viper cards - The Mylex code from 3.5-16 was removed and
        new code that explicitly touches the Mylex card has been added.

        Firmware 3.5-16. Picked up some changes to PCI config code. This 
        may fix some problems with the Mylex controller. This is only an
        experimental release.

        Firmware 3.5-14. Bug fix for P1 Motherboard. Route PCI interrupt
        to 14 for middle slot (instead of 15).
