ibm USED to keep EVERYTIHNG online..
from bios rev. 00.001 through the last day..
whether that archive is still there is an other question..
i guess i should start retaining the updates though it is a
lot of work for the one or two who will EVER need it..
and this might be why ibm does not archive everything, IF
thery don't, online..
