I am trying to update the BIOS on my Micron XRU PII 266mhz with the Intel
PD440FX motherboard.  I'm currently running ver 1.00.03.DT05 which is the
most recent update offered by Micron.  I was able to flash this without a
problem.

Intel offers ver 1.00.09.DT0_ for the board but I cannot get it to complete
the flash process.  I get an L05 error about not being able to initiate
erase.  Intel's sight indicates their updates may not work on OEM boards.
Both updates use IFLASH.

Any workarounds for how I can the the Intel version to flash?  Does the DT0_
vs. the DT05 designation have any meaning?   Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
