Default Which Bios file for A7n8x2.0 Deluxe

I just purchased a used board on ebay and can't figure out which bios file I
need to update the darned thing. It says it's an A7N8X2.0 Deluxe board. I
see multiple boards with that serial on the Asus site but none with the 2.0
designation. Anyone have any idea?

On bootup it says Asus bios 4.1.50 03/19/2003
Asus A7N8X2.0 Deluxe ACPI bios Revision 1003

Click the "BIOS" button on this page. You should be looking
for "A7N8X Deluxe" downloads, then look for 2.0 specific files.

http://support.asus.com.tw/download/...Language=en-us

While the file naming convention has been changed, it looks
like "1008_D.zip" is from the same family as "C18D1007.zip".
(I checked internally with a hex editor.)

The "4.1.50" number on bootup, is the release number of the
SATA RAID BIOS, which is a software module within the flash
BIOS chip. Your current BIOS release is 1003, and the latest is
the 1008 file "1008_D.zip". The 1008_D contains SATA RAID
BIOS 4.2.47 (using a hex editor, the module name is near the
substring "lh5", 7th instance).

Default Which Bios file for A7n8x2.0 Deluxe

Thanks a lot Paul. I thought that was the right one but wasn't totally sure
and wasn't sure I wanted to risk it. I even tried the Asus updater utility
that came on the CD and it kept telling me no bios could be found on the ftp
sites it used.
