Asus firmware for 24B1ST 1.00 or 1.05

[loninappleton]

I have seen a couple of firmware updates various places for this unit. But I also know that third parties develop them.

Today I went to Asus and saw the available firmware listed as this year (or last) and ran the .exe.
This was called a firmware update for 1.00. The exe informed me that the firmware of my unit (manufacture date in 2011) was up to date.

Elsewhere is shown a firmware 1.05 whose date or origin I have not found nor an .exe download site for it.

I'm trying to resolve getting the Asus to boot from CD from a SATA port on a PCI add-in card
and trying both BIOS updates and firmware updates to resolve the problem.

At some point I can give the chip info for the on-card drive controller from VIA if needed.

The "PCI add-in card" ist the real problem.
Connect the drive to the internal sata controller and disable AHCI and RAID.
