Hi,
I need a BIOS update to get a Maxtor 60 GB working.
The Mainboard is a
VTech/PCPartner MB520NH
or
Aristo AM-439VX
The BIOS is a Award 4.51PG
The last BIOS to get is from August '97. Got it from:
http://www.ventura.at/navigation/subnav ... m439vx.htm
Is it possible to patch it?
Thank you for your help!
Marc.

BIOS OEM string: BIOS-I (70814B)
is patchable. Just let us check for a later one...

Just for info, this BIOS is now listed as PCPartner MB520NH.
VTech/PCPartner MB520NH
or
Aristo AM-439VX
BIOS ID string: 08/14/97-i430VX-ITE8680-2A59GV3EC-00
Original BIOS OEM string: BIOS-I (70814B)
New BIOS OEM string: BIOS-I (70814B) patched for 128GB HDD
**Note**: 1 user reports that an 80GB disk was recognised OK, but that
to successfully install Windows 2000 required the first partition to
be smaller than full capacity (<32GiB?).
