I have two K7S5A's. The stickers on the BIOS chips say:
686 AmiBIOS AV08 9930
and
686 AmiBIOS AU27 3901
What do these mean?

ECS K7S5A BIOS #'s

Those really don't have anything to do with your BIOS number.They are just chip Identification numbers and/or part numbers. I don't have the translations for them but you could go to the AMI site to see if you can find any info: Not that it will do accomplish anything. If you need to know your BIOS revision there are a couple of ways to do this. An easy way is to just turn off your system, unplug your keyboard and turn it back on. The boot process should freeze at a point that you can identify your BIOS. You can find more info on this site.
I was kinda wondering which mobo was newer and if there were any differences in them. Rather than the BIOS software itself.
Damn, my bad. I forgot to take those mind reading classes. I knew it would come back to haunt me. 
J/K You might want to try an email to ECS. I know, writing to a company like that is similar to taking on a black hole, but it might be worth a try. Either that or talk to the vendor you bought them from. If you really push them they do have contacts with these companies and can get the info sometimes. Good luck.

Well, I did ask speficially what the #'s on the chips meant, which if anyone explained them, would have probably answered what I was wanting to know.
Trying to get the dealer to give this info? Unlikely.
I might try ECS, but I figured some guru on here would know. Some people emailed ECS about their problems w/ this mobo. Wonder if they ever heard back.

Your first question was:
<< I have two K7S5A's. The stickers on the BIOS chips say:
686 AmiBIOS AV08 9930
and
686 AmiBIOS AU27 3901
What do these mean? >>
I answered your first question: "They are just chip Identification numbers and/or part numbers. I don't have the translations for them but you could go to the AMI site to see if you can find any info: You asked what those numbers meant. I told you.
Your second, different question was:
<< I was kinda wondering which mobo was newer and if there were any differences in them. Rather than the BIOS software itself. >>
Now can you see how silly this last remark is?
<< Well, I did ask speficially what the #'s on the chips meant, which if anyone explained them, would have probably answered what I was wanting to know. >>
Yeah, if you would have told me what make car you drive then I could have told you what year it was without even seeing it. Same logic.
And last but not least, did you not see the "J/K" and the " " right after my remark about the mind reading classes? Do you not know that the "J/K" means Just Kidding and the " " is known as a wink. I employed both of those so as to leave no doubt that I was having fun and meant no personal harm?? Get a grip. And please formulate your questions better. You will get better answers that way and make it easier for others to help you or provide the information you need, if they can. (No "J/K" or " " implied or given!)

Hey, chill out man. I knew you weren't serious. Did you not see my ? I don't get upset that easily...
<< I answered your first question: "They are just chip Identification numbers and/or part numbers. I don't have the translations for them but you could go to the AMI site to see if you can find any info: You asked what those numbers meant. I told you. >>
Sorry, I assumed everyone here knew everyone else here knew they were chip ID #'s and/or part #'s, so I assumed the only thing I could possibly want to know is what exactly my numbers meant (which is why I posted my #'s). But we all know what assuming does, right? Maybe I should have asked for a breakdown. Sorry. When I used to work at a car dealership and people asked me what the VIN# meant, I didn't tell them it ID'd their car. I showed them what each # meant.
<< << I was kinda wondering which mobo was newer and if there were any differences in them. Rather than the BIOS software itself. >> Now can you see how silly this last remark is? >>
No, not really. If someone had told me what my #'s meant, it would either told me what I wanted to know, or would not have. Either way, I would have known what I wanted to know, or realised there is no way to know what I wanted to know, from those #'s.
<< << Well, I did ask speficially what the #'s on the chips meant, which if anyone explained them, would have probably answered what I was wanting to know. >>

I figured some of those #'s referred to a specific date period or version/stepping, etc (like CPU's) that would have told approximately when they were made. Since the BIOS software version can't really be relied on for that. Again, I first just asked what they meant, hoping to get all the info on them I could, for my own knowledge, and which might have in turn answered the other thing I wanted to know (which BIOS chip was newer). I assumed most everyone knows most everyone else here (except maybe newbies) knows how to tell their BIOS software version #. [/Assuming...]
So, sorry Buz2B. No, we don't all always ask perfect questions. I wasn't bent out of shape. Last thing we need during this time is to be that way towards each other.
