I found the these files at that site: fwupdate.exe lx164_v5_1.exe lx164_v5_1.sys I copied the fwupdate.exe to a dos disk, and ran the bios update from the setup screen. It asked for a "Options" disk, but I nothing I put in there seemed to make any difference. I typed 'list' and this is what comes up now: Current Version Filename Update Version fsb 3.1 fsb_fw 3.1 fw 5.60 nt_fw Missing File It appears that in my struggles I was able to get the 'fsb' updated to version 3.1. but the fw still eludes me. any help and explainations would be appreciated.
