How can I restore my old BIOS

Question

I have a Dell D600 with BIOS A02. I wanted to upgrade it to BIOS A14 to better utilize the battery (I was informed by Dell that A14 will make the battery last longer). My question is if A14 contains too many bugs as some found out, how I can go back to A02 since I don't have a backup? Thanks in advance.

jwangbb, Thank you for using Dell's Community Forum. You can try to install an older version of your BIOS from the FTP site.

for your infomation, DELL have removed all the older versions of bios for latitude D600 & inspiron 600m (these 2 machines shares the same hardware and therefore same bios) I have the older version of inspiron 600m A06 bios in hand if u want so.... The newer bios is CRAPS for games!!

Inspiron 600m:
Pentium M 1.8GHz (intel 745, Dothan)
768MB RAM
60GB Hard Drive
14.1" XGA
64MB MODDED MRadeon 9000 (DNA driver)

Indeed I have found older BIOS from the FTP cite, thanks. BTW the r14 doesn't (or hasn't) give me any problems so far.
