Some sites suggest that Sukjung (Korea) was taken over by MET (Taiwan) http://www.met.com.tw , but I don't see any mobo support at their site.

The only interesting (but useless) Sukjung updates page I managed to find were:

...pointing to:
http://web.archive.org/web/200103160152 ... PDATE1.htm
http://web.archive.org/web/200103160149 ... UPDATE.htm

Now I found out that Meichuang is the Chinese name for Sukjung:

(Also known as Magtron: http://see.online.sh.cn/ch/sw/dl/bios.htm#magtron )
(or Megtron: http://www.mydrivers.com/dir9/d3784.htm )

....finally, from the previous link, I see TCOMMATE: http://www.tcommate.com.tw/en/support_en/e-techp1.htm

But... sorry, no support for older boards.

There might be hope, though, according to a MR.BIOS site, the same BIOS part number is applied to three boards, namely:
a) your SJ-P54CS (2A59CSCH)
b) 2A59CF32 (FYI)
c) 2A59CH2E (Holco/Shuttle HOT-541 series)
All three use the same I/O: UMC8663
...this most probably means that the three BIOSes are practically 100% compatible.

The latest Shuttle HOT-541 BIOS is of 6/6/1997.

I do have some beta BIOSes for Shuttle i430FX boards:

12/11/97-i430FX-2A59CH2AC-00
06/06/97-i430FX-2A59CH2CC-00 (identical to the official release)

I am unaware of whether the 2A59CH2A BIOS will work on your board (unknown super I/O controller), but it's highly likely that the official 2A59CH2C might. ftp://ftp.spacewalker.com/BIOS/541

If you do end up attempting this "feat", the risk will be solely yours. Make sure you master some BIOS recovery techniques, just in case.

BTW: I have a feeling the PCCHIPS M507 BIOS will work on your board, too :)
