Hello everybody,
first I would like to thank you for the great work that you are doing. I apreciate it very much. A couple years ago I bought a Gigabyte GA 686 SLX I always was happy with this bord untill I bought a 40gb harddisk. The board wasn´t able to find it. Thats why I called the Gigabyte Support hotline (already 2 years ago). For every minute that I talked with this guys I had to spend a lot of money but that was okay for me because I thought they could help me. But after I switched to the 7th person I was told "We know this problem very well but we are not going to fix this bug. Its not a big deal to fix it but we won´t do it" When I asked for the reason they told me that I should buy a new Gigabyte mainboard. I answered "Maybe I will buy a new mainboard but it won´t be a Gigabyte. Instead I´ll buy an Asus. They ofered me imediatly support and they did call me back instead of letting me waiting" Well, as I said, that already has been 2 years ago and today, by chance, I found your webside. I couldn´t believe it ! There are guys who are able to fix my problem. I was using the search option and also I was following every link but unfortunatelly nobody did already fix the bug in my mainboard bios. Somewere somebody said "If your bios is not listed here then please post it in the forum" and thats what I am going to do right now
hopefully somebody of you can help me. My Board : Gigabyte GA-686SLX
Flash Signature: 02/23/1999-i440LX-W977-2A69JG0CC-00
As you can see the flash is already updated to the latest bios 2.0
(Feb.23, 1998) as found on the gigabyte support page http://ftp.gigabyte.com.tw/support/temp/686slx_20.zip
I would like to connect a 40gb hd to it and maybe later a 60bd and above.
