I almost wonder if archive.org could get involved here, as these sorts of things (specifically including graphics drivers) will be a prerequisite for some forms of digital preservation and retrocomputing.

See https://www.archiveteam.org - they've done such things before, and they do post their work to the IA. And yes, this is something where they should be involved.

I can't believe this. All these years I've been recommending Intel products because of their long term support.

I know these boards are legacy, but does it really cost them that much to host the files for occasional downloaders?

One would have thought they'd tread carefully after so many recent PR hits, but I guess not.

Interesting, what might the reason be? Please refrain from commenting if you are an AMD fanboy.

Can you please finally upgrade?

Even if we assume all motherboards using BIOS can be replaced, it is still valid to want to find software downloads for those that still exist.
