Aptiva - 2144-P30 Flash BIOS update

Applicable to: United States

P/N opflash

Description Executing this file will run a program which creates a bootable floppy. Booting the computer off of the bootable floppy will flash the bios, updating it to the most current level. This can solve conflicts with new hardware and software that require information not in the original bios in order to interact with the system. Running OPFLASH.EXE will also create a readme.txt file which can be viewed for further technical information on this bios flash. This is the Bios Flash for Aptiva 2144-P30 systems only.

Additional Information:	The program used to make the BIOS diskette self-extracting does not support Windows NT. This program does support all operating systems which were preloaded on Aptiva systems that require BIOS updates. Applying this flash to any machines other than a 2144-P30 will void your warranty and possibly render your system useless to you.
