Typo in the know Bios versions

@Eighthpence did you mean 3944 instead of 3394 --Codeasm (talk) 08:06, 14 May 2017 (PDT)

Turn lists into a table?

This article has various lists / sections which all mention the same list of bioses. I believe we should instead transform it into a table / tables and possibly leave fields blank if we don't know something. --JayFoxRox (talk) 08:05, 14 May 2017 (PDT)

I've added a table. It needs improving but it is a start. --Eighthpence (talk) 12:40, 14 May 2017 (PDT)

Differentiation: Flash and BIOS

I feel we often speak about BIOS and Flash and mean the opposite thing. We should move such information to the appropriate articles and refer to each other if necessary.

I think we should even split this into "2BL" and "Flash", not mention the name "BIOS" at all. This removes ambiguity, we can then explain the contents of the flash image on the flash page and refer to the 2BL and Kernel pages for more info.
