You already have the latest "known" BIOS release.
What kind of support are you after? Large HDD support?

Yep indeed I just bought a Maxtor 40GB hardidsk and obviously it does not work...

OK got the harddisk to work but only on 32GB I got the capacity clip on otherwise I do not get my harddisk at all. Is there a solution to get the full 40 GB?

Cheers David

We can send you modified BIOS which will work with HDDs upto 64GB - but flashing is at your own risk - do you want it?

How to flash: read the FAQ at the main page here.
You will need DOS/Win9x bootdisk, new BIOS and flasher. You can create bootdisk in DOS/Win9x by running "SYS A:" command or you can download it from http://www.bootdisk.com. New BIOS and flasher are in the file that I will send. Unzip them to the floppy, boot from it and run "awdflash lxv1-5.bin".
