PJJT29A Flash BIOS update for Aptiva 2178 and 2198 systems README

This package performs a flash update of the BIOS on Aptiva 2178 and
2198 systems.

NOTE: BIOS is programming that controls low-level hardware operations
internal to your system. The BIOS is stored on a chip on your planar
board. Your BIOS uses flash ROM's, which can be updated through a
program on a flash diskette so that you do not have to replace the
BIOS chip to update the BIOS.

This update package is intended for IBM Aptiva machine types 2178-xxx
and 2198-xxx.
