Extracted from Wim's page
The 32GB bug in Award BIOS that prevents many users from using HDD larger than 32GB (BIOS hangs at detection) can be easily fixed in existing BIOSes. This means that if there's no BIOS for your board that supports HDDs over 32GB but supports up to 32GB, it can be fixed. The 64GB bug that causes hang at configuration table can be also fixed. Fixed and tested BIOSes will be on this page.
Cant something like this be done for Existing AMI bioses as well...

There's an APPLEROM (rom.by) patcher out there which boasts the capability of patching AMI BIOSes, but I've had negative experiences so far.

Hi apple
But the site says it's strictly for award bioses only....
And if 32 GB why can't 65535 MB...(this is not a genuine barrier)... I believe it will be much easier to patch this....
I belive I will get some help
Thanx & regards

Version 4.xx of the patcher is only for AWARD BIOSes. Version 6.xx also patches some AMI BIOSes.
You can find links to it in the rom.by forum.
