John,
Yup, they're the same thing. Note the chip version next to the
BIOS version on the top line during bootup. The chip version is the set of
numbers at the right top… mine says (besides that it's BIOS v3.4)
380 788 04

Don,
Then could it somehow be my serial port at fault? I have a generic
serial port that seems to work for all other purposes. Is the baud rate
timing done by the serial port itself? Could it be off causing this
problem. Since we have identical hardware, I can't see any difference
except the serial port…

John,
yup…could be if your serial board has no, or very, very little in
the way of a buffer. But, it could also be a quirk in your BB, wrong
flowcontrol settings, wrong parity or word size, etc.
