    I found a version by browsing wistron.com.tw
    I tried to flash it using the latest version of nvflash but all that happened was something about unsupported EEPROM

    Maybe because the VGA's BIOS in the FX series is integrated in to the system BIOS because the VGA is integrated on the motherboard? (I think only those VGA's BIOS can be saved+edited, which uses MXM)

    This has been my understanding as well, from reading other threads on this topic especially the thread "8800m gts to 8800m gtx"

    Maybe someone with BIOS knowledge can finally unlock the 9c.08 version and tell us all of its secrets. The nvidia bios IS inside of it..the release files with the BIOS make mention of it. :)
