Probably.? I have both the original and the one (can't remember the name)

I've always used my own version of the BIOS; I've always felt that the
more elaborate BIOSes, while interesting and reflecting a lot of work, were
unnecessarily complicated.
I"ll help if I can, but I haven't played much with the thing in a couple
