Compaq Contura 400CX BIOS UPDATE

As part of retro fun, I decided to update the BIOS on my first ever laptop bought in 1995 - the COMPAQ Contura 400CX! Original specs were i486DX2 40MHz CPU, 4MB RAM (few years later I've added 16MB - thus it's 20MB now) , 256MB HDD, Windows 3.1 (..with the help of virtual memory I've been able to play games requiring 4+ MB RAM) I've refurbished it slightly (cleaned up, new hinges, added a new floppy drive since my previous was dead - yeah, had to use the serial and parallel ports to transfer data at that time!, added a larger HDD..) Here is the whole flashing process for your viewing pleasure :) The original BIOS was dated 05.11.1994 and never updated till this date (2013). The NEW BIOS is dated 23.09.1999 (available from http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/...) and fixes the falsely identified Y2K bug by some diagnostics software. I suppose it also added support for larger HDD's, more on that later when I will be adding a larger hard drive (2.5" 120GB PATA) to store all those old-school games I miss so much ;) Thanks for watching...
