Hi! Hope someone there can help. Specs on my system; String; 2A69JB0DC-00. Biostar mobo, Chipset-Intel 440 EX/LX rev 3, BIOS Date 12-31-97, Superior IO: SMC 67 x rev 1 found at port 3Foh, BIOS update: M6TLC. I'm in the process of upgrading from Win. 95 to 98. Added 256 MB and the system only recognizes 160MB. I left my 32 MB. Should be around 288MB without system resources. I have spent a LOT of time trying to upgrade my BIOS. Have tried 3 different How-to files. I feel sure that I have the correct file for my motherboard etc...My jumper settings are correct according to manual. I also have a 40 Gb external HD to install after I upgrade my BIOS. Everytime I get to the DOS prompt I put in AWDFLASH.EXE then go to put in TLC0306B.BIN for the BIOS file I get an error message. This program cannot be run in DOS mode, or bad command or file name. And I'm sorry to say I'm not very familiar with DOS. I searched the files and actually used the one from this site and have had no luck. Please help? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks for your time.
You'll find a patched Bios with support for HDD up to 128GB here : http://wims.rainbow-software.org
Please read wimsbios main page FAQ how to flash a bios
You chipset is limited to 256MB memory sticks a max but they have to be doublesided with 16 memory chips installed - your 256 stick seems to have only 8 chips thus capacity halved
I hope I'm doing this right! I clicked on the link to download the patch. It went to Temp folder. I don't know what to do with it now.... When the box comes up that says, Open and Save to disk, which one do I choose? I searched for directions on what to do with the patch. Can someone tell me how to do this? Sorry for the trouble and thanks for your help.

I'll replace that then go from there with the patch. Have a good day!
