What does mean "new"? I got that laptop in June 2000. Is it included in
your definition of "new"?

Do you think a newer BIOS version will help?
I already wondered, why findchip doesn't give any report. I call it and
it finishes without outputting any line, exit code is 0. I thought, it's
because of the SIR mode and didn't try the FIR mode.
So, in the moment there's no chance to make it work?
Will there be any positive changes in the near future?
Thanks for your reply and have a nice day.
