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 KBO693DCSa

can you help finding the update for KOB693DCS

thanks

[cp]

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

cant determine the exact bios string id since my mboard is still dead.
