BIOS for P2B-DS

Which of all the BIOSs for the P2B-DS motherboard listed at ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/sl...b-ds/index.txt are valid for board version 1.04, a vintage 1998 version?

(The above URL is not complete, for reasons beyond my control. To complete the above URL, replace all the text beyond "mb/" with "slot1/440bx/p2b-ds/index.txt".)

Thanks Joe,

The link you gave me lists the latest BIOS for my P2B_DS board.
Is it safe to assume that it is compatible with my vintage 1998 board?

Regards,
Norman
