--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT THIS PACKAGE DOES

  ThinkPad stores various BIOS settings in its non-volatile memory like CMOS or
  EEPROM. These settings are configured by using the BIOS setup menu. In general,
  this is done manually by the user. However, from a deployment point of view,
  the BIOS settings are expected to be common to all machines and to be
  controlled remotely. This program is the Windows based of "BIOS Settings
  Capture/Playback Utility" (SRCMOS.EXE).

  Features:
  - Copy BIOS setup data settings
  - Copy BIOS secure data settings
  - Install and update for power-on password
  - Install for hard disk password

  If this software has been used, updating this software will fix problems, add
  new functions, or expand functions as noted below.

  This program is language independent and can be used with any language system.

CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE
  Version 1.06

[Important updates]
  Nothing.

[New functions or enhancements]
- Added support for ThinkPad T400s.

[Problem fixes]
  Nothing.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES

- Both the donor ThinkPad and a target ThinkPad must have the same BIOS Level.
- The BiosSettingsWindows version on both donor and target must be the same.
- Both donor and target must have a Supervisor Password to use this tool. This
  is for security reasons to prevent malicious software from setting an unknown
  Supervisor Password, locking all users out of the system.
- 'Using Passphrase' setting (BIOS Setup Utility -> Security -> Password) must
  be the same on both donor and target ThinkPad.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
