I only ended up with two filenames...

s36b2141.exe : 02/08/1996 update (dd/mm/yyyy)
s36b2142.exe : 13/11/1996 update

I have a feeling that "C" meant color back then, and "D" meant "dual scan".

I'm sorry I must be more lost than I thought.

I looked up the above file names in google and came back with nothitng.

I have spent nine hourd on this so far.

I've been to the IBM ftp site and found that the /pub/pcc???/mobiles is empty.

They now use ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com , but they've deleted a lot of older stuff.

I only found a direct link to the older BIOS release. Which one's your current one?

Thankyou much for the link. I'll see if the file there works streight away!

I'm at v1.0 for the current bios.

Oh ... um, do you happen to know where I can find the DIP Switch settings for this laptop?
