Take a look at that one.
I did it an easier way, but it's been a few years and I don't remember
what I did at all.
When i do a strings bios.bin from the output,
12/18/00
Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd.
i440BX-W977
comes up, and knowing what Gigabytes W977 is, I know that's the 6BXD
that's in the machine
$12/18/2000-i440BX-W977-2A69KG00C-00
Further confirmation later in the file there, I know from that bios id
that it's a gigabyte off the top of my head, and from there can easily
google what actual bios and revison it is.
It's not simple, but it works
On my P4B533 workstation, it gives
Award Software, Inc.
ASUS P4B533 ACPI BIOS Revision 1008
08/06/2002
which is right out in the open.
