mmm I have a i8100 with A04 BIOS...

But that confirms that multiple versions of SMM BIOS exists, and that we
have to test only 4 lighter bits, even on i8000.

Does anybody have a Dell Inspiron around there that still doesn't work ?
i8x00 should work, but perhaps others Inspirons have quite the same SMM
BIOS ?
