You upload it to archive.org. Stuff is nearly 30 years old, and the company behind it has been defunct for about just as long, so I don't think they will mind.

I hope so... Apparently those BIOSes are branded with award copyrigth, so i can just do it. I will do this because im bored...
Not really sure about AMI but seems like they dont give crap too. This crap is 27 years old already...
I think 6.00 PG was available online, while i found 4.51PG on some pretty weird IDE disk when i was walking home when throwing my trashbags out. Its like 5 km away from my house.. But im not really sure. It says its from 1997. But theres was a leak from 6.00 PG from 1997, its my speculations...
Lol always through those disks were corrupted, but hooked them up on my GA-EX58 and they worked. Albeit i think its not full, i need to check..
Not really sure about AMIBIOS, got it from now a defunct forum which stored goodies like this.

bios code isnt just bios, but also instructions to the board on how to verify and flash bios

if you have whats written to the bios eeprom, to flash it correctly, you would need to pull the eeprom and flash it directly with an eeprom tool then put it back on the board

the sabertooth x58 eeprom is in a socket on the board, should be easy to do, but those boards are pretty much all features unlocked from stock

Its not about sabertooth X58, i found a 865PE board with award BIOS 6.0PG.

backup bios from the eeprom first, most boards have the eeprom in a socket, easy to pull
eeprom reader/writer tools are not expensive

buy another eeprom of the same type and flash it, to verify it works
then mod bios, compile and save to your backup chip

good luck
You can make custom BIOS to try unlocked hidden settings, or hide settings, can alter how instruction set works for hardware to communicate.

Be aware when using custom BIOS, you can brick your motherboard, some motherboard has feature switch between dual bios "chips" incase of bad BIOS update/install.

will only brick until you flash it back to stock or a working bios
which is why i suggest a eeprom reader/writer and make a backup bios chip first, before any modding

Mistype a word, but yes when flash it that when issue happens, and yeah it would be ideal to have backup the things incase.

without eeprom flashing tools, only using bios to flash bios,
when a bad/corrupt bios is flashed to the board, it will brick it
and there is not way to recover it since the board needs a working bios to flash bios back

and using eeprom flashing tools, you would still need a working eeprom image to restore it
the bios bin files given from the mfg, are not what is flashed to the eeprom
thats instructions on how to flash (and verify the old bios is compatible to the new before flashing) and the eeprom image
I have already compiled it for my 865PE board, and it works.
I have unlocked hidden settings, plus added a cool POST screen which shows CPU/etc voltages. The last time i have seen this was on a ancient board with Award v4.51PG bios.
Recompiling it wasnt a very big deal, only added CPU microcode plus PCI/ICH init code..
it was "easy" To my skills it was relatively easy.
To someones its hell.
