That looks like FIC PA-2012 - looking for BIOS.....
[edit]but latest FIC PA-2012 BIOS at ftp.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/pub/mirror/fic/ is 113jb16.zip,
06/23/1998-VP3-586B-W877-2A5LEF09C-00
Version 1.13JB16 so yours is later. Would you care to save, zip and email it ?

Try searching some other FIC sites, they have different BIOSes everywhere...

This version only reported on the PA-2013

latest version is JI48:
http://www.fic.com.tw/support/motherboa ... odel_id=18

[NickS]

That version is:
03/21/2000-VP3-586B-W877-2A5LEF09C-00
Version JI438
and requires patching for big HDD ...done.
@zam: Is there any marking on the motherboard to indicate whether it is 2012 or 2013 ?

[Denniss]

PA-2012 uses JA and JB Bios
PA-2013 uses JI and JF - latest JI is 4333
JI4333 already supports HDD up to 128GB but please very first you really have a PA-2013 !

Zam sent me his BIOS, but that has been superseded by Edwin's and Deniss's association of the "JI" BIOSes with the PA-2013.

@zam:
PA-2012 and PA-2013 share the the same code 2A5LEF09C but Edwin and DennisS explained the letters "JI" in your BIOS "1.5JI32" should mean it is PA-2013. My mistake in not spotting that there were two boards with the same code.
DenisS has found a later BIOS for PA-2013 at:
ftp://ftp.fic.com.tw/motherboard/bios/s ... JI4333.ZIP
which is:
01/11/2001-VP3-586B-W877-2A5LEF09C-00
Version JI4333
and supports big HDD. I would use that BIOS.

FIC Mainboards usually have clear model numbers printed onto the Board - usually between the PCI-Slots
