Hi,
Trying to update the BIOS on an Abit be6-II rev 1.0 that I just recapped. The Abit website links are down, and the only place I could find a BIOS file was from theretroweb ( https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/abit-a … e6-ii#downloads ). That zip only has one file- the bin file, but the file number/post string checks out. It doesn't have any of the flasher files the Abit website suggests it would (http://abit.ws/page/en/download/guide.php) like awdflash.exe.
That guide does have some instructions for this case- flashing the .bin to a bootable floppy and then downloading awdflash.exe, but the link on abit's website is down for it. It also mentions using dos command line A:\>awdflash AB9_14.BIN /py /sn /cd /cp /cc /cks /R in pure dos mode.
The MB uses Award bios 6.00pg.
Does anyone know where to find this awdflash exe file? Whether it's possible to flash the bios from within windows with a flasher exe? Or whether I can do this with just the one .bin file that I've been able to find?
Thanks for any guidance! I have no idea where to start, but really need to flash it.
