Decent ACPI power management support, I believe. The 7.xx BIOSes were
functional under Win98, and 8.00 added true ACPI support so w2k would work.

Heh, yes I'm lagging trememdously in replying... =)
So I got my Lib 100 used, and it's running BIOS 6.4 and Windows ME. I'm not
encountering any problems, so being of the philosophy "if it ain't broke,
don't fix it," I let this email slide for a bit.
What exactly does upgrading the BIOS do which is supposedly necessary for
running the newer versions of Windows?
