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.

Powerfull,

I am planning to have Vertex 2 as boot drive and 2 other disks as raid 1. I didn't realize that the firmware version of ICH9R may cause troubles. I think I am still using a older version of the BIOS, not sure which one till I am home. The CPU I am using is Q6600. I am kinda hesitate to upgrade to the latest Beta 18 because I have seen some issues with the USB keyboard in bios under AHCI mode for Beta 17 & 18. And the last time I tried to upgrade the BIOS, it scewed the fan control and the temprature warning beep like crazy. I then follow the rule that " if it is fine, why change it " ...

Is there anyway to find out the firmware version of ICH9R for each revision of the BIOS?

If the firmware of ICH9R is too old. I may to the Beta 18 or get some help from Ligushka if it is possible to upgrade the ROMs.

Thanks in advance.
