I got recently an old motherboard without any model numbers. The layout is like pc chips m558 but it has a diferent i/o chip
SMC MC1665IR
It has a bios

wich i dubt is corect cos it handels ali5119 i/o chip
The system can not operate when both the hard drive and the cdrom are conected but whit only the hard drive pluged in my windows bots
Could enybody help me geting the corct bios or help me mod my to handle smc i/o ?

Could only be M558/559 or M592 .
Are you sure there's no ALI M5113/M5119 or UMC 8663 I/O chip ?
What's the Bios release date ?
