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

@ PC Hoarder Patrol
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

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

The attachment ax63p132a.zip is no longer available

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

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

Apply the BIOS Patcher 4.23 utility to the BIOS file.
The log will show what it fixed.
If nothing was fixed, support is already present at the BIOS level.

Aopen MX3S, PIII-S Tualatin 1133, Radeon 9800Pro@XT BIOS, Audigy 4 SB0610
JetWay K8T8AS, Athlon DH-E6 3000+, Radeon HD2600Pro AGP, Audigy 2 Value SB0400

Does anyone know where i can get a Coppermine slotket for the Aopen AX63 Pro motherboard? I need one that will support my 1.266 Tualatin CPU. I was hoping to find on for about 20 to 25 dollars but they're stupid expensive on Ebay.

HAWK 370 will probably be the best slocket you can't buy yet.
