Hi,
I wanna use a 80 GB Maxtor HDD with my Chaintech 6ssa2 MB. My bios string is
04/26/1999-SiS-5600-8661-2A6ILC39C-00
I tried the patched bios from http://wims.rainbow-software.org but it seems to work only with max of 64 GB.
With the patched bios the auto-detect. hangs and during startup the bios table only shows "sec. master, UDMA 5,". The size cannot be recognized and that's the end
Any advices, hints
80GB: Chaintech 6ssa2

Thanks very much Edwin for your effort. I flashed the patched Rev. C bios into my system and everything works fine.
BTW the board is used in a Compaq Presario 5547, so if anyone else runs into my problem she hopefully will 'keyword search' until this message
