Gateway 2000 P5-100: Boot settings and BIOS

The first action I'm taking before I make any changes to this machine will be to record the boot screen information and important BIOS settings for reference.

The following screen shots shows the information processed during a boot to a pre-installed version of DOS:




The computer's BIOS is AMIBIOS c. 1992 American Megatrends, Inc Version 1.00.10.BR0T.
Apparently this is the latest update according to the Gateway site which allows for the BIOS update for this computer. Here's the info:

aladd10.exe
1.00.10.BR0T for Intel Pentium motherboards

Note: When updating your computer's BIOS, the update process fails if you use a floppy disk formatted in Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Windows NT®, or Windows XP. Instead, use a new IBM pre-formatted disk. Refer to Readme.txt file for more details.
