I just looked at the output for my Asus mainboard. The AMI Bios uses a
value of FirmwareRevision which was introduced into EDK II in 2009 and
does not relate to my current firmware. The SMBIOS table type 0 seems to
provide more accurate information.
But anyway it is good to have a tool to look at the system table
information.
Best regards
Heinrich
