This laptop has the BIOS stored on the EEPROM. Hard disk based BIOSes haven’t been a thing since some of the graphical BIOS Compaq laptops of the 80/90s and some early machines where there wasn’t any room on the flash ROM for it, or the space was limited and you had the PS/2 approach of onboard BIOS, but the options were loaded as needed, rather then present just in case.

Hard disk based BIOSes haven’t been a thing since some of the graphical BIOS Compaq laptops of the 80/90s and some early machines where there wasn’t any room on the flash ROM for it, or the space was limited. You also had the PS/2 approach which HAS an onboard BIOS, but the options were loaded as needed from a floppy as you added cards to the system, rather then present just in case.
