manual:

bios (maybe) :
http://kuriaki.myftp.org:8245/Archives/ ... 93a%20DCS/
note: there are maybe two different bios KOB 693A DCS and KOB 693 DCS. i don't own either one of them nor have the time to do an in depth research on those boards / bios. please post your bios id shown at boot up!
(and thank kuriaki for his great archive!!!)
btw. chipset seems to be VIA691/693 aka VIA Apollo Pro. get latest drivers from VIA.

I have an old pc celeron 466Mhz with KOB693DCS Mercury motherboard(Kobian). it is not detecting my new Seagate baracuda 80 GB HDD.
I tried the bios update with batb17b.bin using the flash utility but it says
part number dosent match with the program number
probably it is meant for KBO693DCS
a

please reply with your current bios string so we can find a matching bios and patch it for large harddisk support if needed.
