This bios is only for the ZX-based MS-6156 !
Please post complete Bios-ID as it is displayed on first boot screen and not only parts of it !
With W6156ZXF1 as Bios version indicator there couldn't be i440BX in your Bios-ID !

It's correct. The v1.2 BIOS for MS-6156ZX is:
10/20/1998-i440BX-W977-2A69KM4GC-00
W6156ZXMS V1.2 022699

Get the latest one http://download.msi.com.tw/support/bos_ ... 6zx161.exe:
07/27/2000-i440ZX-W977-2A69KM4GC-00
W6156ZXMS V1.6 100900

It supports HDDs up to 128GB. Awdflash will complain that the BIOS ID is different - ignore that.
