I was looking at the Toshiba support page for my Toshiba Satellite 315CDS, and noticed that they have released two new bios versions beyond the one I am currently using (Version 6.40 is my current BIOS version). I was wondering if I should upgrade to the newest version? I have included the CHANGE HISTORY for the BIOS... Version 7.20 11-05-1998 ------------------------ Corrected a problem with models using a Sharp LCD, where the entire LCD would become white when the system was set to standby mode. Corrected a problem where, under suspend mode, the system may hang while connecting/disconnecting the PCMCIA LAN card. Version 7.10 07-13-1998 ------------------------ Adds ACPI functionality for Windows 98 Version 6.40 04-15-1998 ------------------------ The SVGA BIOS has been changed to correct a system hang problem which intermittently could occur on Windows 95 systems configured for 800X600X16M colors, with display auto off set to 1 minute. To improve power consumption performance the ability to set ZV port to non-applicable (INT 15H) has been added. A correction has been made to eliminate display problems, which previously could occur on resume if specific security applications were installed. A change was made to improve the network access performance when using the Toshiba LAN network card. The Clock Run function is now set to "Disable" which will ignore CPU sleep condition when AC is connected to the system. The DMI write capability from the T&D diskette has been added. Version 6.20 01-07-1998 ------------------------ Initial Production BIOS for these models.
