1.13JI11 + win98 SE +pa-2013 = soft-off?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.fic (More info?)

I've upgraded my computer, and it turns off gracefully with "it is safe to
turn your computer now", in Windows 98, before finally turning off. I was
never able to do this with my PA-2013 board with 1.13JI11 BIOS, instead it
turned off instantly which meant Scan disk was invariably run on power up. I
was wondering was this because of the version os BIOS I was using?
Thanks,
Fellow.

I wonder too, because there was that 98se/ME shutdown problem with the
VA-503+ that was fixed with Tim Stennet's je4333b2, but I thought that
was only brought about because of W98 ACPI combined with an AT PSU, and
the 2013 is ATX of course.
Hmmmm ....
