bad dell, baad!
anyway, see if it has an extract option. what you need is a 1.44mb floppy
image, or a flash util *.exe file + firmware *.bin. any other
format downloads on that page?
a LOT of other hw makers distribute flashutil + firmware binary. see if
you can dig it out on their ftp or something?
when you do, grab a minimum windows 98 system disk, mount floppy
as loopback device, copy flash tool and bin to in, unmount it.
burn it to a bootable cd (preferably rw)... i use k3b for this.
anyway, if you need it that much, send link, i have vmware around
