Looks like Acer S61 board - might be same as Aopen MX64.
There's this BIOS for Aopen MX64:
04/28/2000-694X-686A-2A6LJAB9C-00
MX64 R1.04 Apr.28.2000 AOpen Inc.

at http://club.aopen.com.tw/downloads/defa ... =7&Go.y=10

It should support HDDs up to 128GB.

[edit]
Acer S61 BIOS found at http://www.acer.co.in/support/downloads/ap4400/ - the same as yours.

[edit #2]
Another Acer 61 BIOS at ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/desktop ... 101F2c.zip:
09/14/2000-694X-686A-2A6LJAB9C-00
S61 R01-F2c Sep.14.2000 Acer Inc.

This is it! Up to 128GB and newer than from Aopen.
