Questo, versione 0706, è datato 15/11/2006, ma una volta installato, nel bios, o con programmi tipo "Everest", mi viene indicata una data vecchia (ora non ricordo di preciso quale, ma se non erro sembra giugno). Poi mi sono accorto che invece il bios di fabbrica, corrispondente alla versione 0402 che in tutto lo storico dei vari bios sul sito ufficiale non si trova, è data addirittura 09/12/2006.

Sapete darmi una spiegazione?

Come posso inserire due porte COM? Ho visto che la sceda ha un connettore com, ma cosa mi occorre?
