Hello,

The hdr for optiplex GX110 are not on the repo and [1]
doesn't have any 
reference to this system.

Libsmbios:    0.12.1
System ID:    0x00B4
...
Product Name: OptiPlex GX110
BIOS Version: A07
Vendor:       Dell Computer Corporation
Is Dell:      1

The "-writehdrfile -nopause" trick does work (at
least on [2]).

And dellBiosUpdate works for an A07 --> A09 bios update.

Nice piece of software, and kudos for the developper. Those
systems were 
sold in the previous millenium (around 1999).

That would be me. Thanks.

Question: what was the file name for the BIOS update you
used? I
probably have it sitting here and I might be able to figure
out how to
extract it.

I've also started a bug list that includes system ids for
missing
headers:

Cool. I will feed this list when I found other missing
systems.

Thanks.
