Hi!
I wanted to install a 120GB Deskstar (IBM/Hitachi), but Tekram stopped manufacturing Mainboards in 2001. The "latest" BIOS I got is from 2000. I flashed it and of course it only recognizes 32GB.
Details:
Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
TRM-P6BX-A BIOS V1.08
07/07/2000-I440BX-W83977-2A69KTGBC-00
Even with the IBM Diskmanager I only get 32GB, so that doesn't work either!
What else can I do???

120GB: Tekram P6Bx-An
I've patched the BIOS for you. You'll find it at http://wims.rainbow-software.org/ajz/
Please report success/failure. Thanks.

hi! Thanks so much for the bios!
one more question/problem: as soon as I change to DOS the filename is no longer bxap108+.bin ... it looks like bxap10''1.bin.
Unfortunately I've been unable to type that sign '' in DOS so up to now I wasn't able to try it, although I desperately would want to (a beta-version by tekram ebxp108.bin I found at http://www.tekram.de/sections.php?op=vi ... e&artid=72 didn't change anything)!!!
So if I can do something, and decided I should but discovered I'm unable to - what comes next???

sure... what was I thinking. sorry for that!!!
ok, i flashed your BIOS and it works fine!!!
my only problem is, that my 120 GB HDD (which I use as Slave) still isn't recognized. You know I installed the IBM Diskmanager and it didn't work. Before I flashed the BIOS I used s0kill.exe to get rid of the diskmanager. But I have rests of Diskmanager on my Master HDD.
So now I have the old Diskmanager reducing my HDD to 32GB in DOS. I removed the diskmanager from the slave, so I cannot exit it via the space-key while booting and WIN2000 shows the HDD as working Hardware, but it doesn't appear in the windows explorer.
so I am as far as I was before: what can I do

allright allright allriiiiight!!! That BIOS sure does work!!!
As soon as I removed the diskmanager from my master drive I had all the 123GB!!!
Thanks so much for helping me out and for your patience!!! I wish I could help you with some computer problem, but that will probably never happen... since I'm a theology student (but if you ever have questions concerning god you know where to find my email... ).
best wishes!
