I had compatibility woes on laptops before, most recently with an ancient
Aero 386 ;-). A BIOS flashed with the newest revision software fixed that
(and broke a few other minor things). Back up the old flash version and
hang on to it. You may want to unflash depending on what the upgrade
breaks. Hanging on includes using a thoroughly formatted (several times)
floppy. Now guess why I say this.
