I have tested this on my IP35 Pro and it functions perfectly as far as I can tell. I do not have anything plugged into the JMicron controller, but have enabled it in CMOS setup and its option ROM screen still appears during boot up and also shows up and installs properly in Windows, so I assume it works fine. Confirmation wouldn't hurt, though!
Big thanks for pointing out this BIOS to us.

This BIOS fixed a bug with my OCZ vertex 2 with the latest firmware 1.11, the drive became not bootable but still detected, firmware 1.10 was fine. It was due to the old ICH9R option ROM v7.5.0.XXXX.

Any luck in the future to get the abit IP35 Pro Beta 18 BIOS "ZZZ" with the latest ICH9R option ROM v8.9.0.1023?

This option ROM can be extracted from Intel BIOS Update [BTX3810J.86A] here:

Unfortunately I do not have the knowledge to do it myself.

Thanks again.
