I need the latest bios file for a Compaq Presario 5000A 5BW

I "think" the latest file I need is: SP18321.EXE \ZIP, but I'm not sure.

I see some references to Compaq's old FTP site but that's about it...

Current Bios details:
686C3 08/25/00

Any assistance would be appreciated....

I either fix it or break it permanently... there is no try.

Found it on a copy of the old compaq ftp server here:
