Acer BIOS Headache
Posted: Wed Apr 03, 2002 2:35 am
I have an Acer Aspire 1830 bought in '98, i would like to add a 20g HD ontop of the current 4g, but with the current BIOS it is not recognised. Info from BIOS Wizard 2.1 as follows.
BIOS Man :Acer
BIOS ID :ACR33000-M12-971027-R01-D3 R0 01 EN
BIOS Date :01/01/97
BIOS ROM size :256K
Chipset :ALi M1531 rev 178
Super I/O Chip :SMC 93xAPM rev 1 found at port 3F0h
Please if anyone knows of an up date and where to get it I am getting really tired of surfing for it. I have tried, without any luck, the Acer web sites (all of them), also the ALi site. and the ATI site, because the only flash I get at startup is 'ATI Mach64 SGRAM SG BIOS'm in the upper left corner right before the manufacturer ID flash.
Also I am no longer running Win 95 but have upgraded to Win ME.
Thanks
