AOpen recently stopped hosting some of their older files on their FTP servers, and dummy that I am, I didn't think to save the copy of the R1.32 BIOS that I downloaded a couple years back - and of course I never got around to flashing it onto the board either. Does anyone have a copy or know where I can get a copy? All sites such as Softpedia etc. just have external links connected to AOpen's now-dead FTP links, and VogonsDrivers doesn't have it.

Hey, thanks! Apparently I have an issue on my end? Tried to access the FTP myself and got the same broken link error as all the rest. Weird

How on earth did you get the ftp: link to work? I noticed you mentioned there was a possible newer version? Thank you for the bios!
@ murrayman
How did your bios update go?

Patience! 😀 (they seem to suffer from intermittent really slow response times)...just in case I've attached 32a

EDIT: They have a few live ftp sites, but I generally get the fastest response times from ftp://ftp.aopen.nl/

whats so special abot that bios version?

i got one ax63pro and one non pro.

The OP was looking for R1.32 and that's the one I linked to, later pointing out there was a R1.32a -

- R1.32 added support for DieHard BIOS lite
- R1.32a is a beta bios which fixed hard drive support over 137GB
