The one on Vogons Drivers & The Retro Web are the same version ( P14-0019 , based on the same 7508736.exe compressed update from Gateway)... P07-0012 is actually quite an early version if you check the attached BIOS history in the next link, which mentions a fix in P13-0018 to " Correct “A” and “E” …
