Aptiva 21xx-Mxx systems ONLY!

Contents of diskette:
This is a bootable diskette that updates the BIOS software on
Aptiva M Series systems.

Installation:
Make sure Rapid Resume is disabled, then restart the computer with the
diskette in the A: drive. The program will ask you to select a language.
Then it will ask if you want to change the system serial number and
model number. Answer "no" to these questions. Normally, you would only
change these if you were replacing the system board. When the process is
complete (only a minute or so), remove the diskette and restart the
computer.
