Hello all I currently have one of the SAP machines and it does happen to
be the GXPro. I downloaded the Bios upgrade grabbed my trusty boot disk
and launched into the upgrade process. The whole upgrade took about 1
minute with boot/reboot time. The program runs fine and NT has no problem
with a boot disk. The upgrade file will need to be on the disk if the
GXPro you are working on is on NTFS. Just thought this might interest some
of you.
