Yep, a 600E (2645BG).  I don't know exactly what BIOS version I have,
but I kept it fairly up to date until a fellow committer who shall
remain nameless ran off with the floppy about a year and a half ago.
If there's any way to flash the BIOS from Windows, I can try that.

Regarding vpd, some documentation (at least in NOTES) would be nice.
I shouldn't have to RTFS to understand what you're talking about.

"don't use ACPI" or "don't use sio"?
