Hello Edwin,

The board looks very much the same, where could I find the number you mention. The label on the BIOS chip shows pci/pnp 686 144949918. Is this helpfull?

Thanks a lot your help is very welcome after three weeks hobbying.

Hello Edwin,

In the upper left corner I can only find the number You asked before: 35 8839 01. Could it be on the backside of the board?

Thanks

No it is the BXA839D allright.

Now get this file:

unpack, read the note.txt and flash the appropriate bios for your board depending on the clock gen IC.

Either one supports harddisks up to 128GB.
