It was not a jump, more like a skip. Both motherboards use the same chipset (VIA).

Did FIC switch to Award because of >problems with AMI?? Have you reported your findings to FIC and AMI?? Perhaps FIC did have a problem? I don't know. I only know that for this mainboard, both AMI and Award are available for flash. And I know that changing to Award solved the frustrating 'waiting for scsi to settle' crash. Does anyone know the direct e-mail to a developer at FIC or AMI? I'd be glad to share the information. Again, I hope this find helps others who run into the 'waiting for scsi to settle' problem.
