I am trying to find a BIOS update (or if none, the original version) to
reflash a corrupted system. The Gateway Web site does not list this model.
(Oddly it jumps right over it.) I found an Intel download for the D850GB
motherboard but it won't work.

If anyone knows where I might find it, I'd appreciate a link.

Performance 1400
Gateway E-4600 4000725
Board: Intel Corporation D850GB AAA49507-903
Serial Number: IMGB12518437 (per utility readout)
Serial Numer on case: 0024568585

CURRENT BIOS: Intel Corp. GB85010A.15A.0028.P09.0103091412 03/09/2001

First hit I got, was for the manual.

http://support.gateway.com/s/manuals/servers/eseries/8506984.pdf

This is the only close BIOS found by searching on GB85010A. That
site isn't well organized at all, in the sense that there is
no link back to a main product page for the machine. So I
can't be sure the board is from an E-4600 or not.

Your computer appears to be from the year 2000 or so. So maybe Gateway
just removed it from the site.

I tried web.archive.org for support.gateway.com but it appears to
be out of order right now. So I cannot go back in time, and see what
the support page used to look like.

I don't know the exact version I have installed on my MB, but I got it
at the following location. Have you tried their downloads?

Thanks but I had tried that one and it didn't work.
