Download the flash file and program from www.qdigrp.com and save them on a bootable floppy disk. Boot from the disk and simply run in the following format
FLASH.EXE BIOSNAME.BIN and follow the onscreen instructions. (Obviously, substitute the proper file names).

The files you want are FLASH.EXE and T1B_V13.ZIP. You will need to unzip the BIOS file to T1B_V13.BIN
Save to a bootable floppy, boot from it, then run the command; FLASH.EXE T1B_V13.BIN Follow the onscreen instructions. |

Ya... there hasn't been a new release for some time as the board has been discontinued.

Exactly what kind of problems are you having or what do you want to accomplish?
