I have no idea where you are supposed to get the "newer" BIOS. As usual, the only information I have about the BIOS is, actually, what comes in the autoexec.bat file on the Janus software, as the bridgeboard manual sure doesn't bother to mention it. I guess we have to wait until someone with more pull or technical prowess is able to find out. I won't hold my breath waiting for CBM to call or write with an announcement that I can order one…the tech from Plus didn't bother to return my call, and at $5 a call I've decided to wait this one out a bit longer.

There are a lot of xt and at bb's out there with older rom's on them that can be upgraded, which is known to reduce certain problems such as 3rd party hardware incompatibilities, etc. Dealers received a notice over a year ago about these chips. Ron

Probably newer versions of the BIOS are supposed to be available at authorized dealers. This is a nice thought; however, my experience has been that dealers' support of the Bridgeboard is abysmal. Probably a better source would be your local clone-monger.
