    A quick glance at that doc says that it does include the ability to
    save and restore the existing BIOS; that's the good news. The bad
    news is the opening line:

      "This document provides information for the PCI Flash Utility
      V1.14.00 for DOS."

    and looking through it, they seem to really mean it: DOS, no Linux
    anywhere in sight. I see only that one flash download on their page,
    and the zip file contains only the one .exe file, nothing Linuxy.

    This machine doesn't do DOS, so it seems that flash program won't
    help; let's hope I can get SuSE 9.2 to install with the current BIOS.

    Cheers,

    Jim
