It's JetWay 993AS/AN board. The latest BIOS is "09/07/2000-693-596-ITE86-2A6LGJ1HC-00" at http://www.j-mark.com/files/993asa10.bin.
Read this http://www.j-mark.com/dl/bupi.html and FAQ here at main page.

http://www.bootdisk.com has a specific floppy disk image for bios flashing (plain DOS, no drivers or other gimrackry. Once you have made that bootdisk, copy the flash utility and the bios file to that bootfloppy and start your system from it, then you can perform the requested actions.
