Actually the minor problems are about the same for the Xentor BIOS as for the reference BIOS as the Xentor uses basically the Reference BIOS. The Creative on the other hand incorporates a little more complex BIOS that allows the various Creative utilities to function correctly. Anyhow a kind person emailed me the BIOS and now finally I've been able to flash the card back to the original BIOS. Thanks all for the help.
