80GB PC-Chips A101 V1.4

Hello,
There is patched BIOS (10/15/97-i430VX-02271997C-00 small block flash) for this motherboard on wimsbios.com, but it's limited to <64GB HDDs. Since I don't have any spare HDD that meets this requirement, the result is that computer can't boot, it just hangs on "SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS". Also autodetection in BIOS SETUP makes computer unresponsive.

Would be great if it's possible to remove this 64GB limit.
Thanks in advance!

I will see what I can do. Usually if a bios was patched only for 32GB+ not 64GB+ it means it had an issue. However seeing this one is done long ago, maybe before the 64GB limit could be tackled, it might work.

Thanks, after reading http://www.ryston.cz/petr/bios/ga586hx_mod.html and looking into BIOS file itself, I conclude that fix for >32GB is pretty straightforward (even found the same code in AJZ's patched BIOS), but >64GB is a unbreakable wall for me

Sorry for being impatient, but may I ask if there's any progress in this case?

Hello, this is really bad luck for you, so there is nothing more to do?
