seems it's not a question of BIOS date but of capabilities. Compare i.e.
older Linuxes and newer DOSes :-). BTW, if You don't like the software
solution, there are ISA cards carrying an additional ROM to bring BIOS
up to date. I heard a rumour that these ROMs will work when plugged into
the socket of a boot-ROM on a NIC.
