Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not a problem, a BIOS request, for the Sony Vaio / ASUS P2B-AE.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add the Sony Vaio / ASUS P2B-AE Bios to 86box.

Additional context
I'd like to request to add the Sony Branded ASUS P2B-AE Motherboard, that was used in many Sony machines from around 1999-2000. It appears similar to other P2B boards, however it has onboard Vortex2 Audio, and the required Sony DMI code to allow for Sony OEM restores. It was sold at retail as the P3B-1394.

It's an Intel 440BX Chipset.
NorthBridge says FW82443bx AGPSet.
SouthBridge is an Intel FW82371EB/MB PIIX4E/M
