BIOS links are all bad

Apparently Lenovo broke the old IBM support URLs completely so none of the BIOS links here work. Twt (talk) 16:41, 21 February 2015 (CET)

BIOS update on x200 w/o Windows?

I'm looking for a way to update the BIOS of my new x200, which is running 64bit GNU/Linux exclusively. I don't have a dock/external CD driver. Is there a way to do the update without installing Microsoft Windows to my hard driver or obtaining a suitable CD drive? --Colo 23:18, 16 December 2008 (CET)

See my existing comments at the BIOS Upgrade talk page -- karlcz
