Anybody know how I can get a rom bios upgrade kit for my old 64k
motherboard IBM PC? The hard disk kit I want won't work without one.
I have been calling the local IBM Product Center for over a month
trying to get one. Sample conversation with them (same everytime
I call):

"I'd like to buy a ROM BIOS upgrade kit for my PC."
	"We don't have any in stock, they are backordered."
"When will you have them in?"
	"We'll have them in two weeks."
"That's what you told me a month ago."
	"I'm sorry, but I don't know when they'll arrive."
"Does anybody there know?"
	"No, nobody here knows anything. They'll arrive when they
	arrive. Getting inventory is like Christmas."
"Do you know where I can buy one?"
	"No."

Obviously, IBM is not interested in supporting their machines.

But I really need this part. Any ideas?
