BIOS Update confusion
« on: June 27, 2005, 12:16:05 PM »
Hi. I have a NAPA TAMS T-730/I with a Pentium Pro 200MHz and I have BIOS version 2.0. What is the correct update to download?  ??? The BIOS is from Acer.

I'm updating the BIOS because I get a "CPU BIOS Update Code Mismatch" error every time I start the computer. The Acer tech support website said to update the BIOS and the Stepping Code. It has 64MB RAM and a 2.1GB hard drive.
