These are two intermediate BIOS upgrades, of which there are many. (The
most current version for the 360/750/755 family is V1.13). IBM has always
amazed me with the frequency with which they make these upgrades available.
It seems I had just installed V1.11 when V1.13 was released. (Actually,
the time frame was about three weeks, but three weeks isn't much of a
lifespan!)

Well, you don't really need to, but it's not a bad idea to keep current
with these upgrades, as they include bug fixes as well as occasional
new functionality. I don't see any reason to upgrade incrementally,
however; just skip over versions 1.07 - 1.11 and go directly to V1.13.
Good luck,
