No killed boards so far - the biggest problem can be non-working HDD support (you have to boot from floppy and reflash a working BIOS).

It refuses to flash because the BIOS ID string is changed a bit:
09/23/98-i440BX-W977TF-BX-440B
05/25/1999-i440BX-W977TF-BX-440B-VH

Get another version of Awdflash that will allow you to continue or try UniFlash.
