"Dear Philip:
It has taken me some time to look into this matter but it appears that the BIOS team has removed the ability to use Floppy B as of the 2009-02-06 BIOS version. BIOS versions (Beta or normal) after this time incorporating this feature as well. This can be seen in the relevent beta BIOS section for this board. The obvious question is of course why remove it, and the honest answer is I don't know. The likely answer is to make space for more vital BIOS functions. The next likely question is will it be restored in future versions? The answer being no. It was removed for a reason, and I could launch an investigation into why, but that would serve no real purpose other than to satisfy curiousity. For the time being it would appear that you would need to revert to BIOS versions prior to 2009-02-06 to be able to use Floppy B. If you do plan on reverting fully format the chip with the /f/cc switches inserted at the end of the command line at the A: prompt in DOS mode. This particular modification could be buried in the DMI area of the BIOS that often doesn't get overwritten during a standard BIOS flash."
Oh, not good news.
Does this mean we can use a pre 2009-02-06 bios and it will work? Would there be any issue with doing that?
In my experience thus far I've always stuck with the bios on the board and I have never had a need to update it. So, if it is a pre 2009-02-06 I can't see (based on past experiences) why I would ever find the need to update it. I've had loads of machines over they years and not once have I had to update a motherboard bios.
I'd like to get an order placed this month...
Hi Starfry,
Got your PM
We will be testing the earlier BIOS tomorrow morning.
Cheers
Hi Philip did you get around to performing this test. I want to place my order. I need some help with that though, as I can't work out how I can order a 3XS build from the web site with components not in the list. Here is my list...
If there is anything wrong with the above or anything that can't be done please let me know. Also a reminder about the GPU card listed above that you were going to check out for me.

Hi starfry,
I got your PM sorry for not having chance to reply yet, Ill get on this tomorrow morning
The BIOS has been flashed just need to try both floppys (fingers crossed)
Cheers
Just a quick note to say I phone in on Satrurday and left a message for you Philip and I sent a PM to Lee after seeing the above message.
Hi Starfry,
Bad news I am afraid, doesn’t seem to be working, we have tried a number of BIOS updates prior to the date given by the DFI engineer and get the same result every time.
I will send another email off to them ASAP.
Regards
