BIOS Updates forum

I have this official BIOS: 03/25/98-i430TX-2A59IG9AC-00 GLOBAL CIRCUIT TECHNOLOGY INC. GCT-5iT Judging from the date and the name of the last available bios (5it0325.bin - found this name using the way back machine :) ), i'd say this is probably the last official bios released for this board. I won...

Try an older version of awardflash, or uniflash. Worked for me!

NickS: how about the 6119/6147 confusion? When I check the bios string for the 6147 it says 2A69KM4EC iso 2A69KM4 A C just wondering...

By the way: I just checked and found that the current bios can handle drives up to 32GB. If you can't find a more recent bios, would it be possible to patch this one?

Have you tried on http://www.msi-computer.de - they also have biosses for older mainboards

I'm pretty sure I will need an update for this BIOS to get a 60GB to work, but sofar have been unable to find almost anything.
