IMB r61i

BIOS .bin 4.00 MB Shared

BIOS image of 4.00 MB in BIN format whose name reads IMB r61i, most likely a typo for IBM and a reference to the ThinkPad R61i, though the spelling leaves some doubt. The 4 MB size matches a 32 Mbit SPI flash chip. Such a dump is written with an external programmer to recover a board with corrupt firmware. Back up the original chip before flashing, because it holds the serial and machine type data, and confirm the model on the base label and the motherboard before relying on this file.
