[Note] Please follow steps below to flash this new type BIOS of MX3W Series motherboards.

Procedure:

Download this zipped file. 
Run shareware PKUNZIP (http://www.pkware.com/) which supports miscellaneous operation systems to extract the binary BIOS file and the flash utility. Or Winzip (http://www.winzip.com/) in Windows environment. 
Save "MX3W143.EXE" and "MX3W143.BIN" to a DOS floppy disk. Reboot your system with this disk without loading any memory handler (suh as EMM386) or device driver to get as much free space as possible. If you have an EPROM writer, simply take the .BIN file to program your BIOS. 
Execute A:>MX3W143 and the program will do the rest of it. 
DO NOT turn off power during flashing process, until you are asked to!! 
Reboot system and press "DEL" to enter BIOS setup, load "BIOS SETUP DEFAULT", then SAVE and EXIT. Done!

[Note] The AOpen Easy Flash way does not apply to this new 4Mb BIOS. 
Please follow steps below to flash the MX3W BIOS.

Procedure:

Download this self-extracting file and execute it to get the binary 
BIOS file, flash and checksum utilities. 
Run "CHECKSUM MX3Wxxx.BIN" to see if the checksum of the 
downloaded file is exactly the same as indicated. If not, do the 
downloading again. 
Save "AOFL170.EXE" and "MX3Wxxx.BIN" to a DOS floppy disk. 
Reboot your system with this disk without loading any memory handler 
(suh as EMM386) or device driver to get as much free space as possible. 
Execute A:>AOFL170 MX3Wxxx.BIN.
DO NOT turn off the power during flashing process, until you are asked to!! 
Reboot system and press "DEL" to enter BIOS setup, load "BIOS SETUP
DEFAULT", then SAVE and EXIT. Done!
