SY-5EAS is a possible model number

Please re-check with the model number printed onto the mainboard !

The best bet would be the downloads section at the Soyo website.
http://www.soyousa.com
Looks like SY-5EAS5 is the board; I am puzzled that the latest is "1B1" when all the rest are "1An". Still, the notes do not say anything about different versions of the board and 1B1 is still 128Kbytes (131,072 bytes).
Just make sure you have the whole file before flashing.

Well, you go to the URL I gave you, you select "Downloads", and what is the very first motherboard at the top of the list on the page that comes up ? It is SY-5EAS5. I do not see why you cannot find that.

At first, excuse my doubts and thank's for your help, I saw this file EAS-1A5, but in my computer the number is EAS-1A2, that is the reason, the difference between 1A2 and 1A5, I have no idea about this difference and I don't know if is it the same to use this file for upgrade my bios...Thats all.

need I any program else for to connect a HDD with 60G ?

Thank's

Ah, I understand. The -1Ax etc indicates the version number of the BIOS, not the model of the board. All these are for the same board. Just apply the latest. Follow their instructions and clear the CMOS afterwards.
