I have a ZIDA/TOMATO P4 board which I need bios update (old bios is
corupted by virus or something I dont know). The board is dead. The first PCI slot is labeled by sticker with A845PE, but there is another sign (near socket 478) with the following text:
P/N: 60-A845GE-02-00.
I think that the first is the model number and have spend a lot of time
on the net but with no success. Original ZIDA site reffer the model A845PE, but when I try to download, link is broken. On some other sites
I have found bioses for other ZIDA models, but not exactly for A845PE.

I will appreciate much for any help!

The references to A845GE mention on-board graphics. I guess your motherboard has the tracks on the board but no video connector?

Yes, I had a good look at archive.org last week but could not find a BIOS that was identifiable as his board, whether PE or GE..

I am lucky, and have found another user of A845PE board, saved his
bios file on floppy and successfully have refleshed my board.
Now, everything works properly and board recognizes my P4 CELERON 2 Ghz. Thanks to replyes. If someone wants, I will send file...
