| I upgraded mine a while ago with no particular problem, going
"by the book." I'll try to remember to take a look and refresh
my memory, to see if there is anything notable that might be
non-obvious. I did have to set one jumper, as I recall, but
I had no trouble finding it.

| 7327.4 | Celebris XL is really pc XL | PCBUOA::GKELLEY | | Fri Jan 24 1997 13:20 | 5 |
| I looked up the part nummber and what you have is the DECpc XL, not the
Celebris XL. There is no J40 jumper on the board so the boot block is
always enabled.

| If you look back on the PCBU support page you'll see that the DECpc XL
BIOS rev. level is at 1.23 - that is what you need to load.
Regards,
David.

| 7327.6 | Confused - but I'll try it! | AXIS::CLENDENIN | | Tue Jan 28 1997 21:55 | 6 |
| Thanks! Very confusing - the boot up window identifies the system
as a CELEBRIS XL590 and in fact it's stamped on the tower's face. So
one would assume....... I'll try the XL BIOS. Thanks again.

| 7327.7 | If you're still reading..... | AXIS::CLENDENIN | | Tue Jan 28 1997 22:28 | 8 |
| I lied. I rebooted again and in fact it does say DECpc XL 590 V1.21
However the face plate does say CELEBRIS. Also an F2 at bios setup time
says Phoenix BIOS v1.03. Never judge a book by it's cover. I'm still
curious to know why the V1.23 BIOS in PCBU's soft library says it is for
the "486 to pentium overdrive chip". Surely this not a 486 motherboard?

| Re. the 1.23 BIOS - I think the listing was to specifically call out
the fix (which was to allow for P24T overdrives chips).

| The 1.23 is to allow a 486 to upgrade to a Pentium, we left out the
word upgrade after 486.
