BIOS .rar 781 KB Shared

ASUS BIOS file in a RAR archive for the M5A78L-M USB3 desktop motherboard, version 0211 per the name. This is a microATX board for AMD processors, and the firmware can be flashed through the board's built-in update utility or written directly to the SPI chip with a programmer when the board is bricked. The archive is only 781 KB, so it likely holds a single compact image. Before programming, save the current chip contents and confirm the image size matches the flash chip's capacity.
