Hello,
I'm glad I found you board (with a little help from Jan, thank you). I have got an Asus VX97 Rev. 1.01, and I think this one in not so popular, because there are a lot of Asus patches around, but not this one. It would be great if you can help me with it.
Thank you, DIRK

From the link above, latest VX97 BIOS:
BIOS message: #401A0-0204v
BIOS ID: 12/29/97-82437VX-<<VX97>>C-00

I have patched that BIOS and will send it to you, as the 107 BIOS cannot be patched. You can try it at your own risk....
[update] - no I won't, you don't have an email address :)
