New BIOS out for Zotac 9300?

[Stonedofmoo]

Zotac have updated their BIOS page for this board. The 00/01 and 03 boards are now split. I don't know if the BIOS itself has been updated even though it says 'new... hot'

Interestingly the new file includes a jpg for indentifying pcb versions 1,2,3 and 4
Where did PCB 4 come from. I wonder what is different.

Is it safe to assume those running PCB 0/1 are now forgotton about and won't be getting further BIOS updates?

I guess so. There is nothing "new" in the two bios images, these are exactly the same as the corresponding previous releases.

In fact, when Zotac first published the newest bios version 2K090602, according to the accompanying notes, it should have been suitable for all PCB versions. Accordingly, I flashed my two 9300 ITX MBs (both PCB version 01) to this bios, and both have been working without any particular problems. This is unlikely to remain so with future bios releases.

Zotac are obviously all too eager to develop new products to have time to support older ones. Imho, this is not going to help with the development of brand loyalty in the long term.
