Can you give the complete string, not just 2A5UI000-00 ?
Do you know what model Globalyst ?
Have you looked at http://www.ncr.com/support/support_driv ... _Globalyst

Plasma says Mitac PB5500c - Mitac has no BIOS. See
http://www.mitacservice.com/visitor/v_fileBrw.asp
Mitac USA is no good either.

Thanks for so far..

To NickS.and Soupy
.
The string is the same as the one from soupy(If that is what you mean...?)
I found that also..Tha chipset is Opti 82C822-596-597
It's a globalist 340 and i can't find it on the website.(60mhz)
they have a globalist 310-330-360 and more but no 340..
On the Mitac website i can´t find My board PB5500c..so i don´t know what to do further..
I hope You and Soupy can help me a bit more..

Thanks al lot so far and I really hope you can find something for me

I believe the difference is that one is the firmware for the keyboard (KB) microcontroller and the other is the system (SYS) motherboard. I would not update the keyboard code unless I was desperate.

On the Mitac website I can find reference to the MB5500c but they appear to have no data on the site. You could register and enquire.

Don't forget to try the spelling "Gloablyst" when searching...
