The user may choose between Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, or Swedish. Please note however, that the user sees the chosen language only in F10 Setup, not in the operating system. Note - This ROM is compatible for use with Windows 98. Enhancements/Fixes: - Corrects a condition that was causing the system to hang if the keyboard buffer became full in DOS mode. - Corrects a condition with the Oxygen GVX1 and Synergy II PCI video cards that was causing the system to incorrectly disable the cards. - Adds support for multiple types of Samsung RIMM memory modules.
