sorry, my fault.
at first try, time was to short for cmos clearing. now after ten minutes it worked properly. hdd is detected from bios and from fdisk.
OK, will try to remove the HDD Low Level Format function from the BIOS to save some space and insert some SCSI BIOS there.
gmc: What SCSI BIOS was in your original BIOS? I mean version, etc. - that does it display at boot? The SCSI BIOS is compressed using some unknown method so I can't see the strings inside.
it´s an adaptec scsi bios; scsiselect utility v 1.26 for aic-7880 chip.
post message while booting:

Bios Installed Successfully!
The Low Level Format is successfully removed - BIOS is smaller and still works (tested on PC Chips M520). Now I'm going to find the best AIC-7880 BIOS that will fit there.
Sorry, because I´m late with my test report. There are many problems!
V1 seems to be work for a week, just one cd rom at SCSI auto scan doesn´t recognized. The message "Press CTRL A for SCSI Bios" at post doesn´t appear. But works.
Changes in SCSI Bios doesn´t save to cmos. Now the systems doesn´t boot with enabled SCSI Chip.
After this I tried V2. Now all SCSI units will be recognized. The system boots normal. Only in SCSI Bios during Unit scanning there is a problem. The system hang after SCSI ID 6 is shown. System break with time out error.
