BIOS update for SY-P4I865PE Plus Dragon 2 v 1.0

[Guest]

Would appreciate help in updating the BIOS for the SY-P4I865PE Plus Dragon 2
v 1.0 motherboard.

SOYO shows the latest AMI BIOS update 2aa5 dtd. 12/29/04. The executable
file is shown as 4ipe2aa5.exe

In their instructions for flashing the BIOS
(http://www.soyogroup.com/kb/kbdesc.php?id=308&mode=1)
they indicate that on the bootable floppy that will be used to flash the
BIOS, the name of the EXE file is to be followed by the ROM.
I do not know how to obtain this "ROM" (file?). Is it something generated by
the BIOS update file?

I raised this question with SOYO tech support via email two weeks ago, but
haven't received any reply. Would appreciate any help you can give me.

4ipe2aa5.exe is a self extracting Zip archive file containing both the
BIOS ROM and flash program files.
