Thanks. It produces a lot of information, but conspicuously absent is the version string.
It'll typically be in the first 20 lines, here are a couple of examples:
# dmidecode 2.11 ... BIOS Information Vendor: IBM Version: 78ET63WW (1.53 ) Release Date: 02/09/2006 ... BIOS Information Vendor: HP Version: P37 Release Date: 06/16/2008
According to http://www.foxconnsupport.com/download.aspx?models=&category=C000000001&brand=&Series=&chipset=&keywords=p9657ab&sort= (once enough JS links are clicked) the latest version should be 6A2F1P22 and mine should be 6A2F1P21, but this is the dmidecode output: ... BIOS Information Vendor: Phoenix Technologies, LTD Version: 6.00 PG Release Date: 03/20/2008 ... that 6.00 PG is the generic Phoenix version used by the vendor to create the hardware-specific version, same as reported on the title line of BIOS setup, not the vendor's specific BIOS version for the particular release per motherboard. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
