    I have here a mk1 which I swore there was a update utility to upgrade the BIOS... I can't find it now.
    I just purchased a floppy and floppy drive for the cf29 and am ready to update this old bios.

    Here Is a photo of the bios.

    Thank you, I haven't started the update yet because it says in the release notes the only thing it changes is for mk2 and above is it ads a Intel picture on boot up and something to do with USB? The update doesn't do anything for a mk1, if that is the case I see no reason risk bricking the cf29.
