Hi,
I just need some help to identify the manufacturer of my Bios.
I´ve got an IBM Aptiva and the Bios ID is: IBM7000-M15-980818-R03-X
Where do I get an updated Bios-File for this one?
Please help me.
Need help to identify!

on the HP of Acer there´s no longer any kind of support for IBM Aptiva PC´s and I really need to know where I can get this update.
But I also don´t know which Aptiva model I´ve got. In the bios there is the information that it could be a 2151-87N but this model doesn´t exist.
So what can i do to find this out?

Thanks to all, i will try to update with these information.
P.S. There is no sticker with a model type on my Aptiva because its second hand and the owner before took the sticker away.

I got the link through Google and I could not verify if it works or not. FTP directory retrival throughs IE into and endless accessing loop. Kind of bizarre. The one you posted above does the same thing.

Depending on what station I am at I can use DOS FTP, but not all of them have it. I think Compaq has specifically setup the proxy to deny FTP requests through IE. But they did a crappy job of it or something.
Ah well its compaq, what are you going to do...

Thank you very much, the update was successful but it didn´t solve my problem, because this update is also too old. Is there a possibility to get one from this century. I want to upgrade my PC with an PCI Graphic-Card but i can´t disable the onboard.
Keep the onboard card there - either it will be disabled automatically or it will work together with the new card.
