IP35 vanilla preferred bios and text mode setup?

[BoostFrenzy]

What's the most preferred bios revision for this board and also since i'll be installing XP when it arrives and I haven't opted to use a floppy drive, how will I install the AHCI driver from text mode when installing windows?

from what I hear BIOS14 final is due on the ftp.

& without a floppy I believe that you'll have to slipstream the AHCI driver onto an XP install disk.
