Thank you for the offer, Meng.

Hugh's link led me to learn several new things:

 - I already have the latest BIOS
 - a newer BIOS, if it were available, probably couldn't
   make the motherboard PCI 2.2 compatible--it appears
   to be a function of the chipset, which in my case
   is Intel's 440LX

So, I'd like to trade with you.  Perhaps you could reply to me
off-list with some more details about what you're looking for?  I have
a 4GB drive from about 1997 that I could easily part with, and there
might be something else lying around, if that's not what you're
looking for.

Ian
