Dear Sirs,

I attempt to install a 80GB Maxtor DiamondMax 16 on a Shuttle 569A board. I tried to read the instructions and understand how to modify the BIOS to break the 32/64GB limit but had to conclude that this is by far to advanced level for me. Since there is already a patched BIOS for Shuttle 569 on http://http://wims.rainbow-software.org I hope that you might be able to help me.

BIOS Date: 01/09/99
BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PGM
BIOS ID: 01/09/99-i430TX,ITE8680-2A59IH2HC-00
BIOS Eval: (569AWIQ7) Intel i430TX PCIset

The last BIOS is listed at manufacturer web site at for Shuttle HOT569A
ftp://ftp.spacewalker.com/BIOS/569A/

Thanks for any help!
Andreas

Dear Nick!

Wow, this was really quick! And it works perfectly! Thank you so much!!! We have still several of this machines running and I already feared that my boss would kill me because of the misinvestment. Ok, maybe I should have checked before ordering ;-)

Thanks again
Andreas
