I need a bios upgrade to recognise hard drives bigger than 32 gig and the AMD K6-3+ CPU
Its a Slim desktop computer 2.75"x15"x16" with the letter A and a z like on top of the A in red that a friend got from a garage sale, the label under the base of the computer says IBM MODEL 1158E (made in CANADA), the IBM Site has no such model that i could find, its an Award bios ver (1156) B002.0, the bios i.d. is 02/24/1999-MVP3-596-2A5LET7DC-00, the PC board has T1156 R020 written on it, I can find the company i.d T7 is not in the list of company Award has.

Tatung TDA1156 system. I'll see what I can dig up. In the mean time make a backup of your current bios
get awdflash version 7.x somewhere and a bootable floppy no autoexec.bat or config.sys on it. copy awdflash.exe to it.
boot from floppy and type
awdflash /Pn /Sy T1156.bin
followed by an Enter
when done, take out floppy, boot system and email the T1156.bin file to edwin@wimsbios.net

Fantastic it work , I partition the disk in 3 a 7.8gig, 25gig, 25gig, install WinMe, without a itch, thank you Edwin, now all I need is the k6-3+ 450 to be recognize, it only work with a multiplier of 3 or less, I know there are small program that I can use to access the multiplier of the CPU but would rater not use them.
