Here's a new BIOS compilation, this one with an updated JMicron JMB363 storage controller option ROM. Sorry for taking so long to update it.


Download the BIOS compilation

I highly suggest you do not use any BIOS older than 14, but I've included them if you absolutely need to run an older version for whatever reason. Flash at your own risk. I've personally tested 18ZZZ only. There's very little chance of failure for other versions, however. Worst thing that'll happen is some option ROM throws an error, in which case you flash back to a stock BIOS and post here so I can figure out why and possibly correct it (or put in an older working version of that option ROM instead).

If you do not require the PXE ROM to display its "press Shift+F10 to configure..." message twice after the Intel AHCI OROM's initialization message during boot up, go to the CMOS setup screen, then Integrated Peripherals, then Onboard PCI Device, and set - Invoke Boot Agent to Disabled for both Network Controller 1 and Network Controller 2.

If for some reason you require a beta BIOS version available from the lejabeach website updated, please send me a PM.

Drivers:

• Intel Chipset 9.3.0.1019
  EXE & ZIP formats
  These drivers are unnecessary if you're running Windows 7 or Vista as they contain all necessary chipset drivers for our board. If you would still like to run Intel's drivers, you can update Intel system devices through Device Manager by pointing them to an extracted installation directory of these drivers, but I don't think there is any benefit to doing so.
• Intel Rapid Storage Technology 10.8.0.1003
  32-bit and 64-bit floppy files for use during Windows XP or Server 2003 installation, or for manual installation through Device Manager on all versions of Windows: here
  These drivers are only necessary if you're running the onboard Intel storage controller in AHCI/RAID mode (see here to enable AHCI if running Windows 7 or Vista). This version of Intel RST is the final supported version for the abit IP35 Pro due to its use of the ICH9R chipset, which Intel has deemed obsolete.
• Realtek 8110SC PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller NEW!
  While this points to the PCI-E-based NIC driver, this driver is newer than the one found on the 8110SC page and works without issue.
• Realtek High Audio Definition R2.68 for Vista 32bit / Vista 64bit / Win7 32bit / Win7 64bit
• Realtek High Audio Definition R2.68 for 2000 / XP / XP 64bit / 2003 / 2003 64bit
• JMicron JMB363 Storage Controller R1.17.63 WHQL

Utilities:
