1. A method of improving a data transmission for a firmware in a computer system, the method comprising:
- monitoring a time-out count, a roll-over count, and an error flag of the data transmission when the data transmission is performed via a high-speed bus; and
determining whether to send an interrupt command to a basic input output system (BIOS) according to the time-out count, the roll-over count, and the error flag.

5. A method of improving a data transmission for a basic input output system (BIOS) of a computer system, the method comprising:
-
checking a low-speed flag before the data transmission starts; and determining whether to adjust a de-emphasis level according to the low-speed flag, wherein the de-emphasis level is related to a transmission rate of the data transmission. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
