I have a Trogon mp-993 notebook made by chicony. This is my Bios information
Award Mondular Bios v4.51PG
Version 1.23
10/07/1999-i440BX-SMC869-2A69KC2BC-00
Specs of computer
mp-993 Trogon
500 MHZ Celeron-original
196MB RAM-upgrade from 64 MB
20 GB Harddrive-upgrade from 6.4 GB
DVD-ROM-orginal
The reason that I would like to see if there is any other bioses out there is because this bios will hang on a 40 GB drive. This notebook could last me several more years if I can get it to 40 GB. Or if anybody knows of a patch or workaround.
Thanks

Wanted: BIOS for Chicony "MP993" notebook
http://www.jtcomputer.com/notebooks/support.htm:
Mediago 935 / LH79 / MP993
BTW.: What a nice thing - notebook with Award BIOS!

Try that. If you get new BIOS and it still does not support HDDs over 32GB, save your BIOS to a file and send it to my e-mail. I will patch it for you.Please contact our technical support department for BIOS upgrade.
BTW.: What a nice thing - notebook with Award BIOS!

I managed to find the very same release here:
http://www.notebookservice.dk/993.html
I checked the BIOS and, it's true, it has no support for HDDs>32GB.
So I patched it for support upto 128GB here: http://wims.rainbow-software.org/ajz/
If you don't have the flasher, use the one included in the first URL I mentioned.
Note: if you do try it, please post your results here.

Yep... it took me quite a while to find it...
And, it's true... it's quite nice when laptops have "standard" BIOSes like AWARD or AMI... I just hate proprietary BIOSes like IBM, PHOENIX, DELL, ACER, SYSTEMSOFT, etc.
