If you are running the fractals boot rom, you can use the biosver program to determine the BIOS version you are currently running on your dev system.

Checking the BIOS version under Windows

cd to the NUON executable directory and run the biosver.bat script. Once the information has printed, you may press control-c to terminate the program. You should see results such as the following:

N:\>cd %vmlabs%\bin\NUON
