Bios upgrade query on k7s5a board..

External Since: Aug 31, 2003 Posts: 5

I want to flash the bios on my k7s5a board but having checked the ecs
website, i see that there are different types of k7s5a boards.
Obviously, i want to take great care that i apply the correct
flash..but cant identify the specific model of my board. I emailed
ecs support with as much board info as possible but they are saying
that i need to contact the vendor..the vendor has gone out of
business!

Can anyone assist in determining which one of the following my board
is:
K7S5A PCB 1.0 K7S5A PCB 1.0x K7S5A PCB 1.x K7S5A PCB 1.0/1.0a K7S5A
Pro

Copy of email below with as much board details as i could muster
together.

Pname=K7
MV=S5A
SN=62-0920-001437-00101111-040201-SiS735$K7S5AK7S5A
BV=AMI 09/20/01

Problem=I want to flash the BIOS on a machine which has the K7S5A

following model types: K7S5A PCB 1.0 K7S5A PCB 1.0x K7S5A PCB 1.x
