Flash BIOS update - bootable diskette version for IBM(R) Aptiva(R) 2194 and 2197 systems using SiS 630 chipset for IBM(R) NetVista(R) 2194 and 2197 systems using SiS 630 chipset version P5KT22A Installation README This package updates the basic input/output system (BIOS) on IBM Aptiva and IBM NetVista 2194 and 2197 systems using the SiS 630 chipset. BIOS is programming that controls low-level hardware operations, including interactions with diskette drives, hard disk drives, and the keyboard. The BIOS is stored on a chip. Your computer uses flash BIOS, which can be updated through a program on a flash diskette so that you do not have to replace the BIOS chip to update the BIOS. Note: Make note of any settings you have changed in the BIOS Configuration Utility. These settings may have to be re-entered after updating the BIOS.
