MK77M-V Bios problem

Helping a friend get a computer up and running. It works but during
boot up after checking PCI slot and just before loading the OS, there
is a message that states "Unknown Flash Type".

I want to update the BIOS from Rev 1.00 to Rev 1.01 so he can run an
XP 1900 CPU.

I downloaded the BIOS update file from aopen and attempted to upgrade.
Flash program starts up and reads the old and new Bios files and ask
if I would like to update. If I press Yes, I get an error message that
states "Unknown Flash Type".

Any ideas? TIA

Please elaborate on where you got the flash utility you are using, as well
as the version. This is important as some of the newer BIOS files will not
flash using an older utility.

Chris,

Downloaded a Zip file, Mk77m101.zip from www.aopen.com after looking
under the MK77M-V section. Downloaded the R1.01 zip file. The zip file
contains the Bios file and the flash utililty. Flash utility is
MK77m101.exe and Bios file is Mk77m101.bin

Thanks for your reply,

About all I can recommend is to try to download the file again from a
different FTP server of theirs. I usually use the .nl site. The link to the
file is here:
