BIOS .rar 5.40 MB Shared

BIOS image for the ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 desktop motherboard, revision 1.01, on an Intel Z97 chipset, with the name pointing to an 8MB flash chip. Archived as RAR at about 5.40 MB. A dump like this is used to recover a board that fails to POST after a corrupted update, either by writing the SPI chip with a programmer or through a recovery method where supported. Match the board revision, verify the image equals the chip size, and save the existing firmware before overwriting.
