Amptron bios upgrade / 80GB HDD not recongnized

I had to replace my motherboard, so I bought an old one off eBay that was similar to mine. Now my hard drives aren't recognized. I have two Hitachi 80GB drives. The bios id is 12-18-1998-i440BX-PII-3100-010C-00. Apparently it's an Amptron, which seems to be out of business. I've searched but can't find an updated bios. If anyone has a clue how to track down a Bios upgrade, I'd appreciate it.

Going to check my offline archive. It's possible we're going to need a backup copy of your current bios to see if we can patch big disk support into it.
