Note:
There are two different Bios versions for this series of Pcchips i430VX based board.
If you start your computer press pause/break key to have a look at the screen. The Bios-ID should be at the bottom. In the upper left corner, just below the Award Logo you should see either
Release 10/16/1997 L
or
Release 10/16/1997 S
(Different release date but either L or S at the end).
Please only choose the Bios for your letter, either the L or the S Bios.

Thanks for the link
i,ve found 2 drivers but i think that they are not apropiated for my pc because the Bios ID string, is not the same than mine.I,ve found
PC Chips i430VX boards with UMC I/O (A101 v1.4, M520, M525, M530, M535, M538, M549) - Large block flash 10/17/97-i430VX-02271997C-00 Release 10/16/1997 L
PC Chips i430VX boards with UMC I/O (A101 v1.4, M520, M525, M530, M535, M538, M549) - Small block flash 10/15/97-i430VX-02271997C-00 Release 10/16/1997 S
And my ID string is i430vx-02071997c-00. Does it mean that these drivers are not apropiated for my pc?

Pcchips used a non-standard Bios-ID. If you look a little closer you'll see it looks like a date stamp.
Just verify which of the two version you need, as said either the L or S-Revision.

My version is S.I,ve downloaded the file Release 10/16/1997 S and the Awdflash.Everything ok, but when i introduce the bin file, my system says that the file bin is not apropiated for my system
Is that it isnt the correct driver for me?

Or try to start awdflash with additional /py /sn command
Your command line should look like awdflash newbios.bin /py /sn
-> replace awdflash and/or newbios.bin with filenames of your files if they are named differently.

The BIOS file is not a "driver" for your OS.
You are actually changing something inside your PC hardware (generally speaking). See ->
