BIOS question

I am running a P5-133 with AMI BIOS v. 1.00.05 BR0T as reported at boot
time, and an AHA 2940 with BIOS reported as v 1.2 at boot time

I noticed that dmesg | grep BIOS gives

pcibios_init : BIOS32 Service Directory structure at 0x000fcf70
pcibios_init : BIOS32 Service Directory entry at 0xfcf80
pcibios_init : PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfcfa1

Where does the 2.10 come from?

Also, is there a way to get the system BIOS in a running system? I can
get it by watching the screen at boot time of course.

Thanks,

-sen
