Hi Michael, Thanks so much for replying. Some follow up questions:
a) Is it not possible to use an ISO file to do the BIOS updates? b) I did not quite understand your second comment on why PCI pass through may promote floppy disk use. Please could you elaborate a bit more? Thanks again for your help with this.
