Select Downloads - BIOS - Motherboards - AP57.
No complicated options for AP57 - just one BIOS shown R1.5

yes I saw this some time before already. But they tell in their description,
that only some hang ups at password setting are fixed.
for this reason I didn't take it yet.
Do you mean that I can assume that USB features are also fixed there?

I can not guarantee that USB support is in there, but if yours is a 1997 BIOS R1.10 and theirs is a 1998 BIOS R1.50, there may have been versions 1.20, 1.30 and 1.40 which fixed other things, maybe including USB support ?
