This board also supports ASUS EZ Flash. Assuming you have the full splash
screen enabled, it will tell you on bootup which key to hit to enter EZ
Flash. From there, all you need is a floppy with the latest BIOS file on it
from the ASUS website (the floppy doesn't have to be bootable). See the
user's guide for full instructions. You can get the user's guide in a PDF
file here:
