Yes. New to version 3.x is the ability to poll the following important information: BIOS Vendor, BIOS Date, and BIOS String. Armed with this information, you can then realistically determine which of your machines may require a BIOS update. (As there is no real Y2K problem with Macintosh computers, this issue is specific to PC’s).
