Boot code for the Bitsy Plus is stored in onboard flash and can be updated in the field. You may need to do this to support performance improvements or newer features of Windows CE builds.
Select the boot code for your system based on the amount of DRAM installed.
1.79 (17-Jul-2003) - Supports FAT12 and FAT16 CompactFlash cards - Will not halt the boot process if ADSLOAD.HWT is invalid
1.78 (19-Mar-2003) Intermediate build not released for general use. Displays message on debug port that it is beta. - Suppresses debug output when both DIP switches are ON. This means that the debug menu, which used to be displayed after loading files in the "open-box upgrade" mode, is no longer available. (However, booting with switch 1 ON and 2 OFF and no card inserted in slots will bring up debug menu -ak 22sep04)
