ISO Gigabyte GA-686BX flash rom

[HAL6000]

Anyone have a Gigabyte ga-686bx out there? I found this board at work and wanted to flash the new bios to run a PIII on it. However the flah utility they sent with the bios kinda sucked. I get a nice black screen when I turn it on.

Peace out.

and downloaded 6bx_f1f.zip
they say they have supported PIII with bios 2.8 which was made Jan '99. I was using a PII 350 to flash with.
