mobo hangs with the 40gb, sure you've heard it before ;p

it's a C3 motherbord (Chaintech), and I cant find the correct bios for the mobo, if you could help, I'd be very gratefull

Chipset I430TX
brand: Chaintech
model: 2A59I
type 9C-00

if anyone has the bios or can patch it orso, would be great :O

Chaintech boards are usually "labelled". You should check:
a) any markings on the motherboard
b) the bios chip (look for a model number on the sticker, if any).

Looks like Chaintech 5TTM0.

it's

5TTM M101

I found a bios; don't think it's 40 gig proof though

could someone path it or something?

That should be 5TTM1 (OR NOT ) But 5TTM1 BIOS is:
04/13/98-i430TX-W83977TF-2A59IC3AC-00
04/13/1998

Looks like Chaintech 5TTM0.

yes, that's the one, tnx.

I saw that you ""patched" biosses in other threads? is that needed for this one? (40 gig support)

if so, could you please do that? It would help installing computer @ parents ;p

OK, found that it's 5TTM0 (http://www.chaintech.com.tw/support/bios.htm). Patched BIOS sent.
