Where Can I gen an free update for my BIOS.

The BIOS String is

Award Modular BIOS, Ver 4.51PG,

BIZ1A-H Ver1.1.

BOARD :- KOB ZX ATX

It is a Board with INTEL 440ZX Chipset, SLOT1 Board,
CPU:- P III 450MHz, 2 DIMM Slots.

I am not Sure whether it is PROCOMP Board or KOBIAN Board. Procomp Site is unreachable and in KOBIAN Site no related information can be found.

Please Help Me!!.

...seems like you have the latest for your PCB version already.

I patched it to support upto 64GB HDDs. Check my signature.

HI!,

Thank You very much for the reply. But the Link You have provided, BIOS Program/Manual are not available there. It is memntioned there that Version 1.1 for PCB version 1.0 and BIOS Version 2.1 for PCB Version 1.1a. I am not sure which version PCB I have. Will the the BIOS Version 2.1 , work for BOARD?

Thanking you Again

Your version is 1.1, so you have PCB1.0. All I did was patch your very same version.

ajzchips is telling you to click on the <Beta Patched BIOSes> link at the bottom of his reply. This will take you here:

Scroll down the page until you find the Procomp zipped BIOS file for your board.
