The upgrade procedure for the s2462 implies a W98 boot floppy (never ever seen one of those :-) and it also strongly reccommends flashing the CMOS memory. As this involves playing with jumpers on the MB and I have 9 of them screwed into a rack, I hesitate to go that path.... As I wrote the MBs are at 2.09 and the newest version from Tyan is 2.10, with a not very interesting list of fixes/enhancements.
