You can get the most current bios at ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/bios/ .  For
that version of the BH6 ( I have one) you want to look in BH6, NOT BH632.
The most current version looks like it's bh6ss.  Might as well flash the
most current if you are going to do it at all.  Get the most current Award
flash utility at ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/utilities/ .

You can make a boot disk on any Win9x machine.  Just format a floppy and
check the copy system files box when you do it..
