HdMH> See if IBM provided you little tidbits of crucial information, like "this
HdMH> bios works with EC versions bar, baz..."
HdMH> If the new *BIOS* supports the old EC version (i.e. the one you have
HdMH> currently running), update BIOS first, then EC (you will have a fully
HdMH> compatible system during the entire process).

No, look at:

	http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-39366

at the top of the page:

 - This BIOS version will only work with the Embedded Controller Program Version 1.06a (or higher). Please obtain the additional package, Embedded Controller Program Version 1.06a (or higher), and update the Embedded Controller Program.
 - If you need to update Embedded Controller Program as well as the BIOS, update the BIOS first.

and at the bottom there's the compatibility table, last bios need last EMBC
and vice versa...


HdMH> Otherwise, see if you can find someone who did the upgrade you are going to
HdMH> do (provide your current versions of bios and ec firmware), by asking around
HdMH> here and in thinkpads.com.

Ouch! Only now i note on:

    * Bart Snapp <snapp at uiuc dot edu> Note: I followed IBM's instructions to flash the BIOS *first* and the Embedded Controller *second*.
    * Moy Easwaran: BIOS 1.18 / EC 1.06a via cabextract and CD-boot. The BIOS-update exe generated errors in Windows 2000.
    * Joe Renes: BIOS 1.18 / EC 1.06a on 2006-03-20 via cabextract and CD-boot. Piece of cake. 

sorry, i've slipped over this row...
