BIOS needed: JBond PCI500C-H3 (AWARD)

My old PC has a complete breakdown. Now I'm searching a place to download a BIOS update. The manufacturer JBond doesn't exist anymore, obviously. Now I found Wimsbios.com and I even found my motherboard PCI500C-H3 in the list of the manufacturers.
But how to download?
Could anybody please help me? Or do you know an alternative place where to get this BIOS-file?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,
thank you for your answer. I do not have the code number which is shown during the booting process of the PC. But I've two different numbers: One is printed on the current BIOS chip, the other one is from the elder one which had to be replaced some years ago.
Current one:
ATMEL AT29C010A 90 PI 9934
Old one:
WINBOND W29EE011-15
644QDH2610249992UE
Thanks in advance.

OK, that doesn't help a lot. Are you 100 percent sure it's PCI500C-H3 ? If so, the latest BIOS I found is archived at
http://web.archive.org/web/199902240934 ... glish.html but that is only 1997.
09/02/97-i430VX,W83877F-2A59GJ3AC-00
PCI500C-H Plug and Play Rev:1.60
However, it seems to be patchable with Rainbow's utility. Is your issue "My hard disk isn't recognised" or "My motherboard is dead" ?
It works!!!

Hi,
thanks a lot for the link. IT WORKS!!!
My old PC is running again. B.t.w. it's really a PCI500C-H3. Quite old but still alive (again).
Thanks once more.

Hi,
thanks for the offer. My PC's HDD is 20 GB. And it's working. I guess then I don't need support, do I?
