P3-700 in an ECS P6BX-ME: Incomplete POST

Is there any hope for this combination? Using latest flash file from ECS, here's what I get:
Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG, An Energy Star Ally
Copyright (C) 1984-98, Award Software, Inc.

P6BX-Me Ver 1.3c 01/15/1999

-MMX CPU at m88MHz




Press DEL to enter SETUP
01/15/1999-1440BX-W977TF-P6BX-Me
Only this and nothing more. No chance to get into BIOS setup or boot. I got the exact same results with a BP-modded BIOS which CBROM confirms to have a different CPUCODE.BIN :?

PII-450 works fine. I realize that both this CPU and the P3-700 are multiplier-locked. Any help will be much appreciated, and I'll be glad to give more detailed info on request.
