Hi there!
I just got this board; the writing on it identifies it as an Epox EP-3VBA. I'm going to connect a 60-GByte-or-larger drive to this board (60 GByte are sufficient, more would be nice); but when trying to detect the the connected hard drive the BIOS hangs. Running the built-in IDE HDD Auto Detection function also hangs the machine, and manually entering the drive parameters doesn't work, too. All tests were done with a 45-GByte IBM DTLA307045 (the larger drive is not yet available).
Unfortunately Epox doesn't offer BIOS updates for this board (I can't find it on their website and on ftp.epox.com there is am manual for this board, but no BIOS updates).
I don't like disk managers and the like, so a BIOS supporting at least 60 GByte drives on this board would be a great thing.
I hope anyone can help me!
Thanks,
Aragorn
