Mine says:

ASUS A7A266 ACPI BIOS Revision 1002B

http://download.asus.com.tw/mb_dl_menu.asp?l1=1&l2=10&l3=17&mid=2

The changes added with 1009 are:

   1. Add IDE ATA133 support.
   2. Add ATI AGP display card patch to fix that the system
      can not execute AGP cycle with ATI AGP display cards.

I will see if I can figure out how to flash this thing to 1009. That
is something I've never done. I will have to find a way to make a
bootable DOS disk for the flash program.

Setup here is:
Athlon 1.4
A7A266
ATI All In Wonder Rage 128 Pro AGP 32MB
XFree 4.2.0 (No DRI or agpgart or anything.)

I can't even get a decent panic... just freezes :(

Put me on the list of testers if anyone is working on this... I can
update this box to -current if necessary. It runs today's -stable ATM.

Cheers,
