modem driver/bios upgrade

To my knowledge every BIOS can be flashed, as far as upgrading you might want to contact compaq tech support and find out if there are any upgraded versions they recomend that wouldnt give you any trouble. Your modem driver should be located on the restore CD that came with your compaq laptop, if you lost it or cant find the disk try searching the compaq website.
good luck

HP does not list any BIOS updates, or W2K drivers for this model.

You might be able to get a 3rd party custom BIOS. Expect to pay over $75 for a custom BIOS.

www.unicore.com is 1 source for custom BIOS.

Unless there is a specific problem that the BIOS update is supposed to correct, I would recommend against flashing the BIOS.

Now, if you can identify the actual modem controller IC, you may be able to get a W2K 'reference' driver from the chip manufacture.

I couldn't find the bios update for this model but you can always go to the bios manufacture site or got to the http://www.driverguide.com/indexddc.htm
There you will find all the drivers update you need and I know they have few Bios updates too but you need to input a fcc # from your motherboard, which should be located on the bottom sticker of your laptop. For the modem you can search by manufacture, keyword or serial number on that website. The only thing you will need to register for it, But I'm using it for long time and I have no problems. Just use one of your temp E-mails, because I think they are selling it.
