Why do you need it?
It looks to be Packard Bell Pegase board. I have this one, but it's possible that it's for different board revision:
02/06/1999-SiS-5598-W877-2A5IIB0BC-00
BIOS Ver. 1.10

Well Im looking for the most up to date bios version of it. I had both v1.05 and v1.10 but i had a HD crash and lost them. My CPU i know supports up to 450mhz and according to multiple software peering programs. The motherboard should support them too but the system just gets highly unstable above 300mhz. I also use Tweak Bios and alot of performance settings are turned off like Burst PCI mem transfers which i know for fact are supported by the 5597/98 chipset. BioStar has current updates for a similar MB the 'M5SAB' which are the same production board for a diff manuf. but i would like to keep it with the bios designed for the PB pegasus board. I just looked the MB is a M5SIB Ver2.0 also which i dont know for any reason why. my 512kb L2 cache even though installed is disabled..... 8O How that is happening Im not quiet sure but Im thinking its possibly a reason why my computer is benchmarking with the same as a P200 :!:

I put both versions at http://wims.rainbow-software.org/edwin/Biostar%20M5SIB%20%28PB%20Pegase%29.zip
If you want more options, get MODBIN and enable the disabled items there.

If the focus is not on textbox, backspace works as Back button. I use it often.

using a P1-100 with 64MB for that with an ancient 330MB seagate disk, so you're not doing as bad as you think...

Do not assume anything
