MSI MS-5169 REV:2.1

AMI BIOS

Got this board from a friend patched with the 3.7 bios from the link above. Says it's for revision 4.0 only, but it seems to work fine. It's got a 32GB size limitation and I was wondering if someone could patch it for me? I need 40GB support, but would prefer 80GB if possible for future compatibility.
Thank you for your time.

There is a 3.8 Beta supporting bigger HDD - you have to ask MSI Tech support for this Bios .
From a readme file I have :
AMIBIOS Date 02.08.2001
This is the AMIBIOS version 3.8 Beta3 for the
MSI MS-5169 mainboard (only PBC 2.x and higher)
- fixed CD-ROM / DVD-ROM boot issues
- probably several other unknown fixes
If you have an answer from MSI Tech support please report back !

I sent off an email to support@msi.com.tw, will let you know if they reply.
Does no one have this beta bios available for download anywhere? If not, they should.

VT82c596a is south bridge. North bridge is the other big chip on the board.

Well I got back a generic response. I got a big Excel file showing how to ID components, saying to check their website & forum, read the manual, etc.
Only thing I found in their forum said to use the 32GB jumper which I already have been doing. I need the extra space though.
At the end it said to reply if I still needed an answer so I went ahead and did that.
