Here is the 600 series device driver page:
Software and Device Drivers - ThinkPad 600

The top item lists the links to the latest BIOSes for the various 600 flavours. The latest 600X BIOS is version 1.11 (ITET55WW).
W520 (dual-boot Windows 10/Ubuntu 15) · X61 Tablet SXGA+ · T60p UXGA · Legacy: X60T, 600X, 770Z
Thinkpad Media Centre: X61T running XBMC with Broadcom Crystal HD BCM970015, Creative X-Fi Surround 5.1 plugged into Cambridge Audio Sonata AR30 receiver

Here's a hint/tip page for searching the IBM/Lenovo web site:

http://www.ibm.com/help/us/en/help/

There are some search stratagies listed but really all you need to remember is: for multiple search terms add a "+" sign in front of each term. At the top of that page there is a "Search" box. Entering:

+600x +bios +update

returns this link:

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... IGR-4HVUYL

which is exactly what you want.
