That should have the "builtin" Q-Flash utility, i.e. you just need
to unpack the BIOS-file to a floppy, USB-stick, Harddrive with FAT32
(<32G to be safe). Follow the instructions in the MoBo-manual on using
the Q-Flash utility.

HTH,

AHA, thanks for this. It would have to be an USB memory stick if
anything because the system doesn't have a floppy and there is nothing
Windows in sight on this system.

The Q-Flash utility works with FAT32, Windows or not :-).

You need a FAT32-formatted USB stick or a FAT32 formatted hard disk oder
a FAT(12) formatted floppy disk... The utility does not recognize any
other filesystem format.

I tried with other formats on a USB stick, to no avail :-(

Werner
