   Aha! I found the drive. It's 4G, not 128M, but that's OK. Loaded the two
new BIOS files and the contents of the drive now are:

070830s.ROM*  COMMAND.COM*                       MSDOS.SYS*
AFUDOS.EXE*   DOS Flash Utility User Guide.pdf*  UCOREW64.SYS*
AFUWIN.EXE*   E5410A16.exe*                      Ucoredll.dll*
BOOTLOG.PRV*  IO.SYS*                            Ucoresys.sys*
BOOTLOG.TXT*  M2100A06.exe*                      Ucorevxd.vxd*

   I assume that after booting the portable, I insert the drive in a USB
port, mount the thumb drive, and (with the thumb drive as the cwd) at the
command line enter afudos.exe ... or do I just invoke the new BIOS .exe
file? It's been about 6 years since I upgraded the E5410's BIOS so I don't
remember how to do it.

   Clue stick needed.
