I think this was the last update IBM issued.
This bootable diskette updates the BIOS level of 2134, 2159 and 2176
systems to level BST__4I/BFL__4N, whichever is appropriate.
Updates in this level of BIOS:
- Added DVD identification
- Fixed timings for DMA modes
- Added LBA seek command support
- Fixed return codes for INT 13H Extension failures
- Set up interrupt vectors if any drive is connected
- Don't wait for reset on warm boot
- Fixed ATAPI drive detection issues
- Set default parallel port mode to extended capabilities port (ECP)
- Don't spin up disks coming out of Standby
- Fixed check for real-time clock (RTC) update-in-progress
- Added checks for RTC update-in-progress in power management
- Updated timer tick Y2K rollover algorithm.

Wanted: COUFLASH BIOS update for IBM Aptiva 2176
I recently inherited this old IBM Aptiva PC, model 2176-C66. It has
an old BIOS dated 1996. I would like to udate it to the latest
version dated, I believe, in 1999. |
