Hi there. I desparately need your help with a Mother board manufacturer of the following Bios ID. I know the Bios manufacter is Award but have failed to track the Board Manufacturer. The pcs are pretty old and were running on win95.During post display an error msg of "I/O error" Extensive troubleshooting has been done to isolate the HDD and IDE cables to no avail.

Bios ID: 11/13/96-sis-5596-W877-2A51FD49C-00

please note that they hid fields for IDE prefetch, burst and post write in the bios. what's even worse: they even disabled those features in the chipset. i hope you use a decent OS that can switch the options back on or you know how to modify an AWARD bios with modbin.
