BIOS updates for Thinkpad 760XD and 765 are missing in driver matrix and "Use quick Path"

The BIOS updates for Thinkpads 760XD and all 765 are not mentioned in the Lenovo download area - neither via driver matrix nor using quick path.

 

 

I could find the BIOS 2.13 HXET60WW 12-09-99 hidden in the Lenovo download area by trial and error:

The README:

http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/spsdhx60.txt

The BIOS-update can be found here:

download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/spsdhx60.exe

 

These were the BIOS versions:

1.00 HXET23WW 11-01-96 File not available
1.01 HXET27WW 12-11-96 File not available
1.02 HXET31WW 02-18-97 File not available
2.00 HXET51WW 08-15-97 File not available
2.01 HXET53WW 09-25-97 sytph201 README: "An error occurred while processing your request."
2.10 HXET57WW 05-21-98 sytph210 README: "An error occurred while processing your request."
2.11 HXET58WW 03-30-99 spsdhx58 README: "An error occurred while processing your request."
2.12 HXET59WW 09-07-99 spsdhx59 README: "An error occurred while processing your request."
2.13 HXET60WW 12-09-99 Current Release README

Mornsgrans,

Noted. I wonder why it's not tagged to to ThinkPad 765. But anyway, I have notified eSupport team to check on this.

Thanks!

Regards,
Cleo
