    I cant seem to find a floppy boot BIOS flasher anywhere for your mobo. You may be SOL on this one. Hmm.....Will it boot off a bootable CD? Try a live Linux cd, use Wine and run the flash utility. Long shot, I know. I'll keep looking.

    @ddp: The problem is that the BIOS flash utility is a Win32 app. I cant find anything like the old aflash.exe dos utility for this specific BIOS. Unless someone can dump a bin of their BIOS and email it. Worth a try I guess. Ever try this?

    @Golden0: You may just want to search for a used board on Ebay, being that this one is bricked.
