I was trying to replace a 6GB drive with a 10GB drive, Bill.  The BIOS 
only says IBM BIOS Configuration Utility.  I used strings to search 
through the BIOS update file I downloaded, but stopped after 6,000 lines 
of about 49,000.  The only thing I saw that made sense, other than a 
mention of OS/2 versions, was something is copyrighted 1995 by Sydex, 
Inc.  strings and grep found no mention of IBM, Phoenix, or AMI (in any 
combination of upper- and lower-case letters) in the whole file.
