Well, some Asus motherboards have what Asus calls 'EZ Flash BIOS' <http://www.asus.com/products/mb/ezflash.htm> which contains a BIOS flash programmer within the BIOS. My own motherboard, the A7V8X, has this, and it works. However, according to Asus' web site, the A7N8X-X doesn't have that. That said, there are several places on the net where you can download a DOS boot floppy image. Check out <http://www.putergeek.com/downloads/> for one such. Sure, it looks like a .exe file, but it extracts with unzip. Just try to ignore the really annoying Javascript 'maximize window' mess. ---------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Bryan Feir VA3GBF|"Every man has somewhere in the back of his head Home:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | the wreck of a thing which he calls his | education." -- Stephen Leacock ---------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
