It's Award, but I already find out how. Thanks anyway

But my main goal is to test my I/O card ISA , I recently bought it but only know that it can be used to fix a pc if the bios is corrupted or damaged.
So I want to test it on my old pc.

I now managed to upgrade my bios to the olders version (09/02/2002) Normally I had a BIOS from 13/02/2003.
Just testing.

Now I want to upgrade a wrong BIOS , so the pc stops booting.
Do you know then how I have to use this I/O card to put back the correct bios that I made a backup from?(13/02/2003)

I found another way how to fix a corrupted BIOS (another motherboard wich is exactly the same, simply explained, but it is specially the BIOS chip that had to have certain properties to succeed in fixing the corrupt BIOS).

I fully understand this method(have read it on the website and made some notes)

But I thaught it was possible to connect the I/A card to the death motherboard and then ...?? hmm, But I do ask my self how will the death motherboard recognize my ISA card if it's dead? Maybe I haven't undertand it correctly? So I have bought the card for nothing.

The following is from the FAQ of wimbios site:
My motherboard (BIOS) is dead, and I can't get my floppy drive to work to do a boot-block flash.
answer: Plug an ISA Multi-IO card, connect your floppy drive there, and flash your BIOS again, this time with one that really is for your motherboard.

So I ask myself is the motherboard is death, how will it boot from ISA multi-IO card? hmmm
Will search further

That is really so nice of you that. Actually I am also not aware of that tips you have said about to testing it on the older version. Well apart if it is works thats good and I also got something new to test in my systems too.
