Unfortunately that's not what he wants... he wants a book that I referred to which is called the "thinkpad 560 technical reference". IBM produces such books for all of their computers and they include the BIOS interface. I could only find the desktop books online. I've only got a photocopy of the tp560 reference, and I can't find the part#. I sent a message off to IBM asking for the part# (and asking if they'd put it online like the others). I looked briefly at the desktop books, but they don't seem to include SMAPI (system mgmt API). SMAPI is the API for the thinkpads that lets you control all the settables like serial settings, parallel settings, performance settings (for battery power), and so on. It includes some of what APM does, but APM generally complements it.
