Dear sirs:

I would like to install a Fujitsu MPG3204AH into an ACorp motherboard with that BIOS ID. Could anyone have the solution for this? I´ve gone to the ACorp webpage, with no help...

Thanks a lot!

Regards from Portugal

It's Azza Pt-5IVL OEMed by Acorp. Manual http://www.azza.com.tw/FTP/Manuals/5IVL.PDF. Some BIOS is here http://www.azza.com.tw/FTP/BIOS/5IVLWP.ZIP

Try it (be sure to back up your current BIOS first) - it should detect the drive correctly but some of these old BIOS will not support over 8.4GB even when they display everything OK. Run FDISK (from Win95OSR2 or later) to see if it shows full HDD capacity.

Acorp seems to have newer BIOSes for certain oemed boards. I've just discovered (and rejoiced) that recently with my REDFOX board (oemed by AZZA and Acorp).

Try another flasher - older Awdflash or UniFlash (at your own risk).
