Thanks. I gave them a call, but then I noticed a new BIOS was posted.
Unfortunately it looks like I'll have to reinstall Windows in order to
flash it. I did not see anything directly related to this in the release
notes, but I'll give it a try.
I think I must get some sleep :P.  I don't remember if it was specified
"supported" or not befor.  Anyways I will contact them tomorow, I think
the problem is old enought to have a definitive answer. Now it's bed
time ;)
