    I am trying to upgrade the bios on a friends old Compaq computer. I have been to the Compaq website. I don't quite understand how to upgrade the Compaq bios, it doesn't seem as simple as making the typical bios boot floppy that is more common. The computer is a Compaq Deskpro EXm C566/10/8/64c US. The bios chip is an Amibios 686. :rolleyes:

    Kman,
    Compaq bios are packaged into what they call ROMPAQ's. The ROMPAQ's usually make the floppy for you and then you boot with that it updates automatically.
