From Wim's AWARD page :

I430VX-02071997C-00: Houston Technologies or PcChips or Mastonic 5500 or Zida (tomato board) 5SVX or MG (Microgram) or Eurone matsonic ms-5010

Is there a patched BIOS available here??

That BIOS was used on Amptron PM8800 alias PC-Chips M525. For 20GB you should be able to use their BIOS.
For HDD over 32GB you should be able to use the patched BIOS for PC-Chips i430VX with UMC I/O (M520, M525, M530, etc) at the "tested BIOSes" link in my signature. Your "BIOS eval" says 1997 S, so use the small block flash version.

He has two of these boards. Plans to use a 20GB and 80GB HDD. Sent him a re-patched BIOS for >64GB support and am expecting to receive some feedback shortly.
