60GB: MS 6163 VA

Recommended by Wim's BIOS...

Hello!

I have a MS 6163VA mobo and an new 60 GB HDD. Because the old bios didn't reconize the HDD, I surfed to the MSI taiwan site and got myself a new bios. When I rebooted, I got the funny "no 80 conductor cable message". I now know, that I got the bios for the MS 6199 board. Probably a mistake on that site!! My old board has two ISA slots, both with scsi adapter for different scanners. When I'm lucky I get one scanner working. I think it's the fault of the new bios. To cut that story short:
Is there somewhere an award bios for the MS 6163 VA board that is able to manage 60 GB HDD's?? Please help!!
Thanks a lot!

Just to add MS6163VA Rev 1.x is the revision number(OEM-Board- MSI Germany lists Maxdata as Bios supplier).
Board has UDMA33 support and the newer/installed Bios is for Rev2.x aka MS6199 .

The BIOS ID strings are the same
Here are some old BIOSes http://www.microstar.ru/support/bios/bios.php?model=MS-6163VA
I can patch one of them (which one do you want?) to support HDDs over 32GB.

The problem is the newer Board uses UDMA66 (with 596B Southbridge) and the old one is UDMA33(with 596A Southbridge I think) and the no 80 conductor cable message won't disappear but the cable is installed as it should be .
