After further investigation I have found that the Bios is not flashable. So I guess I am out of luck unless anybody knows where i can get a rom chip with the v3.5 bios on it.
Thanks for the help

If the chip is standard EPROM (brown chip with window covered by label), it can be erased and reprogrammed in external programmer - you need the BIOS image file for that. If it's PROM (non-erasable), you can buy blank EPROM and program the new BIOS there (or have it programmed somewhere).
