BIOS are dated June 2000 - yep, an oldie but a goldie
I don't think I've personally seen a BIOS without that option for a couple of decades. Maybe way back in the very early 2000s? Maybe?

This old Sony laptop has a very sharp hi res screen, but the BIOS is so old it doesn't have a boot from USB option. I have dongle that allows me to connect IDE drives via the USB port. I was hoping that Rufus would see the IDE drive as a USB device, but no. Is there a way to make this external drive bootable with Linux? I can see the current files on the drive and R/W to it and the Windows disk manager sees the drive and reports its partitions. Seems like this ought to be doable. On the other hand, I am definitely a NOOB when it comes to Linux.
