IBM IBM Aptiva 2144 and 2168 systems BIOS Driver

IBM IBM Aptiva 2144 and 2168 systems Driver. ****THIS IS THE CORRECTED VERSION OF A CDROM ARCHIVE I HAVE OF THESE FILES. I UPLOADED AN EARLIER VERSION AT ANOTHER LINK, THINKING IT WAS THE UPDATED VERSION AS I WAS TOO LAZY TO PULL OUT THE DISK AND WENT TO IBM FTP SITE INSTEAD (ftp://ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/ps1aptiva/update_files/bios/), WHICH ACTUALLY HAD THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE BIOS, NOT THE UPDATED ONE. THIS IS THE JANUARY 1999 UPDATE. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION****

This BIOS is for the following IBM Aptiva 2144 and 2168 systems:

A10 A12 A14 A15 A40 A44 A45 A50 A51 A52 A90 A92 A94 C45 120 121 123 131 132 133 141 142 152 154 161 162 163 171 172 182 L11 L15 L16 K25 K26 L33 K33 L43 K43 L35 K35 L45 K45 KU5 L55 K55 L65 K65 L66 K66 U11 U15 U16 U33 U43 U35 U45 U55 U65 U66 X17 X27 X37 X47 Y17 Y27 Y37 Y47 Z17 Z27 Z37 S20 S50 S55 S65 S64 S74 S75 W37 W47

Installation:

============

1. Download the ODYFLASH.EXE file.

2. Insert a blank 3.5" floppy diskette in Drive A: and Double click on the ODYFLASH file u downloaded. It will write the entire bootdisk for u.

3. Power the system down completely. Dont just leave the disk in the drive and choose reboot. Shut it down completely.

4. Insert the BIOS update diskette in the diskette drive and turn the computer back on.

5. A menu will prompt you to choose the desired language.

6. You will be asked if you would like to change the serial number. Choose (N)o.

7. You will be asked if you would like to change the machine type/model. Choose (N)o.

8. Thats all there is to it. The system BIOS will be updated. When the BIOS update is complete, and it prompts u to, remove the disk and press the enter key to reboot the system.

(NOTE: This file is a self extracting disk image created by Floppy Image 1.52. I did it this way because the original file could only make the bootdisk under windows 9x. For those with windows NT/2000 or higher, the original file would not work for making a boot disk. This Floppy Image file will make the boot disk under any version of windows.)
