The latest BIOS revision is >> it5h9r.exe <<
To the l33t BIOS hacking experts: Is there an online guide for hacking the Award BIOS to support >32GB drives? I've some programming experience and would be happy to help Rainbow & co fix BIOS's
40GB: Abit IT5H Rev 1.01
What's your current BIOS ID string?
9R BIOS:
01/21/98-i430HX-2A59FA1DC-9R
GREEN PCI/ISA SYSTEM
There's also CR BIOS:
01/21/98-i430HX-2A59FA1DC-CR
GREEN PCI/ISA SYSTEM
The date is the same but the revision seems to be newer

Oddly, mine has a CS BIOS:
01/21/98-i430HX-ALi5123-2A59FA1EC-CS
( yes, the date string is still 1/21/98 ! )
Looking at the "index.txt" file, there's a revision named "it5h5cs.exe", which is probably the one that's on my board. Now that I think about it, I recall that CS was the latest rev released by Abit. Unfortunately, it's not on the Abit FAE support site. I can extract the image and send it to you, if you'd like. Send me your email address or a site to upload to.

Yes, fair enough. I didn't want to assume that I could send big binary attachments to that email account. No good pissing him off by overflowing his mailboxedwin wrote:see that email button under Rainbow's posting? That is a valid email addy.
But since you think it's ok, I'll give it a try.
What board revision do you have? Hope that it's printed somewhere on it.

No replies from Rainbow Guess he's too busy or can't get it working.
But good news nonetheless! I tried apple_rom's Bios Patcher utility which works great. He was even kind enough to explain the divide-by-zero overflow which causes the problem. Anyway, his cool app automatically patches the 32GB & 64GB HD size bugs and fixes the CPU tables for Celeron/P3 too! Send him a msg if you'd like to try it out, or I can send it your way too.
