BIOS image for the ASUS M5A97 R2.0 desktop motherboard, with the name indicating board revision 1.00. The 8.00 MB raw .bin size corresponds to a 64 Mbit SPI flash chip, so it can be written directly with a programmer such as a CH341A after confirming the chip capacity on the board. Use it to recover a board that fails to POST after a corrupted update. Always read and save the original chip contents first, and verify the board model and revision silkscreened on the PCB match before flashing anything.
