Can anyone please help find the Award bios update for Chaintech 6BTS with 80Gb HDD support? The taiwan site www.chaintech.com.tw appears to be down and the german chaintech.de does not list the over 30Gb HDD support update (unlike for almost all other 6BTx boards). I'm despaired.

ftp://ftp.chaintech.com.tw/bios/6bts/

It's up and running...

6bts0723.exe is the latest.

It'll most likely fix the 32GB bug, but not the 64GB bug.

The patched (64GB bugfixed) version is here: http://wims.rainbow-software.org/ajz/

Yes, it's up again, but the files there are the same I saw on chaintech.de. And it does not say even 32Gb HDD support in description of the 6BTS0723.exe. Anyway I'm downloading (Chaintech 6BTS 2A69KC39).zip from your site now.

Sorry I did not make comments earlier. The reason is that I needed this BIOS for my home computer where I don't have Internet access, it's only now when I'm back to the office. I tested it over the weekend and it works
great! I didn't notice any bugs so far, so you may consider the patch tested. Thanks a lot!
