I've seen that there's some bios update for the allwell. Maybe this already includes a more recent rom (the actual version is 4.x, 0.99X is *very* outdated). 

There's also some possibility to boot this thing into dos mode (needed for the bios update ...), perhaps you can flash it this way with the 
newest rom available from intel.

Regards,

Josef
