You should be able to find the software you need from Asus and 3rd party sites, I have found win8 usb3 drivers for this board elsewhere and many of the Asus apps for the rev 2.0 will run on the rev1. The main software difference between these boards is the sata external controller change from the jmb362 sata2 to asmedia sata3, and the rev2 has more usb3.0 rear ports, but still an asmedia controller like rev1.
Also same amd chipset drivers from amd's site, same sound controller (ALC 892), Ethernet changed from 1111E to 1111F, drivers for the sound and Ethernet controllers can be found on realtek's site, just look for HD codec and Ethernet drivers.
As far as drivers go, I almost never use what is provided by the board makers, they are usually really old. As for apps, often the newer versions of them end up on the newer boards but still work on the older boards just dandy.
