    Trying to update the M6805 bios to the new one. Having a problem. EDIT: I WAS ABLE TO FLASH TO THE NEW BIOS!

    i was hoping that the new bios would add support for faster ram, so that we could use pc3200 in it without the laptop failing to boot. i did notice the new splash screen and some other things are re-ordered but i don't see much else myself.
