BIOS for the ASUS K501UX with the 8.0 MB note in the name, which likely refers to the flash capacity, marked as version 205, archived as a 3.76 MB RAR file. The F1 token is not explained by the name. Check that the image size and your SPI chip capacity agree before programming, since a mismatched dump will not fit. Read and store the original firmware with a programmer first, as it holds board serial data, and compare the board revision on your PCB with the source if you can.
