Napalm (Voodoo4 / Voodoo5)
- Initial Version of Napalm BIOS.
- Based on the Avenger BIOS version 2.11.
- Added 1280x1024 panel timings. By default, BIOS assumes a 1024x768 panel where CR1D[6]=0. To tell the BIOS a 1280x1024 panel is attached, CR1D[6]=1.
- Fixed bug with some ROM binaries not booting. Fixes PRS#5619
- OEM.ASM
- Modified the routines GetSubdeviceID and GetSubvendorID to get the offset to the tblPCIInfo table from read C000:0018 instead of using the tblPCIInfo label.

- Created the routine GetPanelSize, to return the size of panel currently attached.
- OEM.INC
- Created the field FL_PANEL1280 for determing when a 1280x1024 panel is attached.
