also refer to a 1.00.18.BI0 and 1.00.19.BI0 with SCU v3.40 & overlay 1.30A, though unsurprisingly all the actual file links are dead. I did see this alternate site for these, though not sure if you'd want to risk it

Interesting, and surprisingly enough - these seem to be legit. There is a lot of fluff on that page, drivers for PCI-E cards and for Windows 8/10 which this system never supported, but 3 of the files appear to be the real deal:
10018bi0.exe - I renamed this to .zip, extracted it, it contains another autoextracting archive BIOS.exe which was again renamed to .zip and extracted, and it appears to contain the files for BIOS 1.00.18.bi0, flash utilities and some pretty detailed notes on how to flash from different previous revisions of the BIOS, a bugfix list etc.
10019bi0.exe - similarly renamed to zip and extracted, and the SW.exe contained within renamed and extracted, seems indeed to contain the files for BIOS 1.00.19.bi0
s340130a.exe - contains 3 inner layers of self-extracting archives (each renamed and extracted with 7Zip), eventually you get to the files for SCU 3.40 and overlay 1.30 which are the appropriate ones for BIOS 18 and 19.
I can't try them as I don't have the board yet, but I will repack them in a non-executable format and attach them to this post for easy access without jumping through hoops on suspect servers (which may disappear tomorrow).
Thank you for the links above, they proved useful.
BTW anyone downloading this, you shouldn't trust me and test the files by yourself if you intend to use them.
Also, the only real difference between BIOS 18 and 19 is a fix for the correct display of Feb 29th on leap years beyond 2000.
I/O, I/O,
It's off to disk I go,
With a bit and a byte
And a read and a write,
I/O, I/O
