What I'm trying to do is to get a flash BIOS upgrade for a HP computer for which I don't know the model number. I looked right away at lspci -v which told me it's using a Intel i815 chipset, but that didn't seem to be enough to find the right upgrade, so I assumed that I needed more info. The DOS utility also didn't tell me any more.
