I can confirm that the T20, more specifically Type 2627-41U aka 'Toronto'
running BIOS 1.00 IYET33WW is not susceptible to this problem. I wasn't
able to try any later BIOS code on this machine (but may be able to given
further time). From other reports, I am fairly confident that this BIOS
family (IYET) is not affected.
I can also confirm that the X20, Type 2662-21U aka 'Sydney' running BIOS
1.05 IZET37WW is also not affected. From other reports in the field, I
am fairly confident that this BIOS family (IZET) is not affected.
