Well, I have an IBM 6269N2U net vista, running windows 98SE.
My current bios is a (slash 15 version). The newest according to levono is a (slash
21).
Feeding all the correct data to them, I downloaded the current flash with this absurb
set of instructions. Read carefully... in part it says......****Flash BIOS update
- Bootable diskette version
for IBM(R) NetVista(R) 6018, 6269, and 6345 computers
for IBM(R) Aptiva(R) 2194 computers
version PTKT21A
Installation README
(For floppy install)
This package updates the basic input/output system (BIOS) for
use with IBM Aptiva 2194-xxx systems using the Intel 810e core
chipset, this does not include the 2194-23B, 2194-32B, and the
2194-441 as well as IBM NetVista 6018-xxx, 6269-xxx, and
6345-xxx systems.
BIOS is programming that controls low-level hardware operations,
including interactions with diskette drives, hard disk drives,
and the keyboard. The BIOS is stored on a chip. Your computer
uses flash BIOS, which can be updated through a program on a
flash diskette so that you do not have to replace the BIOS
chip to update the BIOS.******
It's contradicting itself. Any suggestions ???
Thanks in advance...
