UniFlash 1.40

UniFlash is a powerful program designed to update the firmware or BIOS of various chipsets and Flash ROMs. Created by Pascal Van Leeuwen and Galkowski Adam, this program was almost a dead project until it was revived, now supporting a wide range of chipsets and Flash ROMs, with a list included in the package. UniFlash is licensed under GNU GPL v2 since version 1.40.

However, it is important to note that this program is strictly for experienced users only. Using UniFlash improperly or encountering a bug in the code can result in your motherboard not working correctly. The original authors and creators of UniFlash will not be held responsible for any damage caused by the program. If you do encounter an issue, you will need to hot-flash your Flash ROM or use an external Flash ROM programmer to recover your motherboard.

UniFlash is mainly intended for fearless and experienced computer users and programmers. It is recommended that if this is your first time flashing your BIOS, you use a brand flasher instead of UniFlash. The creators of UniFlash are simply experienced computer users and programmers, and do not have the ability to test every routine and chip. That's why they released the program to the public in hopes that users will help them debug and test routines.

It is important to understand that this program communicates with the chipset and Flash ROM chip at the lowest hardware level, which can be dangerous to your computer's BIOS. UniFlash may contain bugs, and most of the supported hardware is untested. Therefore, you are using UniFlash at your own risk. Nobody except you will be held responsible for any damage this program may cause.

UniFlash has several requirements that must be met before it can be used. Your computer must have at least a 386 processor, with RAM at least two times larger than the Flash ROM size but less than 2GB. Additionally, you will need MS DOS 4.0 or higher, a known Flash ROM chip, and a supported chipset, all of which are PCI-based or PCI card or c't Flasher 8-bit ISA card.

In conclusion, UniFlash is a powerful program that can be used to update the firmware or BIOS of various chipsets and Flash ROMs. However, it is strictly for experienced computer users and programmers and should be used with caution. It is recommended that if this is your first time flashing your BIOS, you use a brand flasher instead. If you do choose to use UniFlash, make sure to meet all of the program's requirements and be aware of the risks involved.
