A closer look at the page I was using shows a release date of 
30 APR 2003 with a BIOS date of 21 Dec 1999??? Guess I was just looking
at the BIOS date.

I'm really sorry to hear that it didn't work. How badly does it fail? I
do get a number of ACPI errors at boot time, but most don't seem too
critical. I can see the battery condition and it reports the temperature
for a single thermal zone (currently 29.32). Powers off properly, but
does seem to suspend.

I do wish APM was still available for me!
