I bought a Wester digital BB 80Gb and I want to put it on Acorp 5TX29 motherboard.
The motherboard string is : 01/07/98-i430TX-ALi513x-2A59IF99C-00

If you can help me please send the patched bios at nightmare_pro@yahoo.com

Thank You.

Dou You think the bios from this page will be able to see the HDD?

Can You look inside the bios and tell me if it will recognize the HDD?

Thank You.

@Edwin/Soupy
From the Acorp file 13_5tx29.bin, details:
FOR 5TX29 PCI/ISA/AGP MODE VER:1.3
03/08/1999-i430TX-ALi513-2A59IF99C-00

Makes it the same ID and date as Redfox/Fordlian 5IB2 in the link from Soupy above, different OEM message

Hi all!
Sorry for reopening the topic, but I have a similar board too (ACorp 5TX29 with the string 06/16/1998-i430TX-ALi513-2A59IFF99C-00) and I would need a fixed BIOS.
POST states FOR 5TX29 PCI/ISA MODE VER:1.2 .
The board has a few issues and I was wondering if a BIOS update/patch could fix them or the board is defective and should be dumped:
-IRQ 12 is not assigned (PS/2 mouse doesn't work at all and Windows states "IRQ 12- free"
-Windows 98 has frequent explorer.exe (and not only) faults, and I get errors even when installing it
If possible, please send the file to drugwash@yahoo.com . Thank you!
