- It should be easy to upgrade an AMI BIOS. I ordered and received an new
- AMI BIOS last week from Upgrades, Etc (805-650-2030 or 800-955-3527). The
- person who took my order first asked me which version I had and why I wanted
- to upgrade. He verified that the problems I was experiencing were known
- problems before taking my order. He also told me that I needed to order a
- new AMI keyboard BIOS. Total cost was $82 ($50 BIOS, $25 keybd BIOS, $7
- shipping). I haven't installed the chips yet.
