    I have a Sony Vaio PCG-C1VE Picturebook with Transmeta CPU running Linux:

    Code: 
    CPU: L1 I Cache: 64K (64 bytes/line), D cache 64K (32 bytes/line)
CPU: L2 Cache: 512K (128 bytes/line)
CPU: Processor revision 1.3.1.3, 600 MHz
CPU: Code Morphing Software revision 4.1.4-7-51
CPU: 20000805 23:30 official release 4.1.4#2
CPU: Transmeta(tm) Crusoe(tm) Processor TM5600 stepping 03
    As you can see above, the Code Morphing Software in the flash BIOS of the notebook is version 4.1.4. I know that Transmeta had updated the CMS several times up to version 4.4. For the TM5600 version 4.2 is the latest one, 4.3 and 4.4 was for the newer chips.

    I have tried to get the CMS update 4.2 for the Picturebook, but to no avail. Does anybody know where I can get the flash update from ?
