Hi,

I have a :

MoBo : PCCHIPS M 717

AMIBIOS ID : 61-0525-007170-00101111-071595-M717

Bios updated 05/25/1998S (seen at boot)

I'd like to place a 120 Go HD. For this, I'd like before to find a bios update, the most recent if it is possible.

Thanks for your help,

Friendly

Release 12/08/1998S

is latest and does not support it either. Add-in controller card is your only option to do this right.

I've seen reports of 80GB Seagate HDDs working fine with that BIOS (no overlay software).
