Anyway I got a new BIOS chip from www.badflash.com they'll either
program your old chip or send you a new one.
Never got email back from them, but I did call their Fremont phone
number. They won't swap my flash for me at their Fremont location,
preferring instead to charge me $25 to fedex one from Kentucky.
What a racket.
Best line "We consider flashing an at-risk operation so it isn't
covered the same way a broken board is." Ahem. If their software
worked as advertised it wouldn't be such an "at-risk" operation. One
would only have to worry about power failures, which are pretty rare
around here.

I just checked on the German asus ftp site and this file was in the zipped
bios file. But it wasn't in the file I downloaded from the USA web site.
Asus needs to get their act together.
