For socket A? Don't have a clue.
The only BIOS writer that I know of is Jan Steunebrink, who does the patched BIOSes to get K6-2+/K6-III+ support for Socket 7.
Whether he has done anything with socket A for any reason, I don't know.

If you're looking for patched BIOSes for Socket A (to support more CPUs) you might have luck in the biosmods.com's forums.
Re: Help
Not sure if this will help, but the guy at this site
http://rom.by/articles/BP/index_english.htm
has a BIOS patching program for recognition of more CPUs, among other things.

KA266
This is where I am at on the .18micron and .13micron cpus
The simularitys between this and the K6 .25-K6+.18 CPUs is unreal!!!!!
KA266-R using a XP333-R bios
CMOS function is at about 50%
FSB changing is limited to 66/100/133
the Async memtiming works(very badly though LOL)
you get a 20-30% performance hit using it.
changing fast ultra 2.0 2.5cas has little effect.
the timimings for the FSB are atleast 100% better
I now can OC my .18micron XP1800 to XP2000 before I got random errors at xp1900.
voltage changes do work. the 10% function dose not.
I don't have two HDs to test the raid function.
how ever I thought you had to load drivers to get it to work(jumper set to disable)
It is so compatable that irqs didn't reset, windows loaded like nothing changed!
no, the barton did not startup, nor did the XP1800 .13micron chip
If I remember correctly the the unlockers if shorted out the cpu trace with ground the cpu did not work!!!!
the cpu i have is unlocked so jumper #5 is grounded at the socket A
so to amds web to get the white papers an look the pinouts over to find the missing link.
If the 12-20-02 bios does work with the new .13m cpus
It has to be a pin on the cpu.
