my problem is that i can´t find the exactly name of my mainboard.
i know that it is a chaintech board but i want to make a bios update because my new 80 GB HD isn´t running.
Hope someone can tell me the exact name.

BIOS-ID: 01/18/1999-ALADDIN5-2A5KKC39C-00

Thanks a lot to everyone who helps me!

Should be a 5RSA or 5RSA2 - check marking on sticker near or onto the Bios flashrom chip .
According to the date seems to be the 5RSA2 .
