The general rule of thumb is that you should have a BIOS dated during or after 1988, preferably something on or after 4/9/90. This is no big deal. Most people who have worked with AMI know of other compatibility issues that occurred before 1988. These issues have been resolved (to my knowledge) in all current versions. IMHO: If you have _ANY_ compatibility problems with an AMI BIOS prior to 1988, run, don't walk, to get a newer version. Anything after 1987 should be OK.
