Looking for Tachyon BIOS

I've got a Tyan Tachyon 9700 PRO and I was looking to see if there was a more up-to-date BIOS than the one I currently had on the card. It's got the original BIOS from the factory that shows as:

BIOS Version 008.004
BIOS Date 2002/12/12

Looking on Tyan's site and through their FTP site it seems like there's not a newer BIOS for this video card. Since the card is slightly dirrerent from the reference design due to the hardware monitoring aspect of it I'm wary of using a reference 9700Pro BIOS on this.

Anyone know of a location for a more current BIOS for this card? I find it hard to believe that there isn't anything newer in over 18 months.
 
Thank you. I found one there, although there was no info as to what was changed in the newer BIOS version. Additionally, after installing it I can no longer tell the BIOS version from the options page in the drivers. Everything still works, so that's no big issue. It's just bothersome not to have ANY documentation.
