Is it possible?  

Is it possible or adviseable to upgrade the BIOS of a 755?

Thanks for any suggestions.

By the way, the machines I have tried have worked ok.  Giving a kernel parameter the kernel can recognize the SCSI CDROM, which is nice.  However, is there a way to tweak the BIOS to boot from this device?

Thank again,

on every subject -- as soon as facts are shown to be opposed to it.
