Hi, I am in need of an updated BIOS to support hard drives larger than 32GB on an Azza PT-5IVH v3.0 motherboard. The BIOS ID string is:
07/21/97-i430VX-W977-2A59GP8FC-00
Thanks in advance...

There seem to exist an 11/97 Bios which might support larger HDD (or might be patchable up to 120GB) but I don't know where to get this version.
Use the capacity limitation jumper to limit your HDD to 32GB and activate all space above within your OS (if you use W2K/XP or Linux).
Edit:
I found the 11/97 Bios in our Award Beta-Bios collection matching your Bios-ID. It is patchable up to 120GB. Send me a mail if you are interested in and please state the size of the HDD you are planning to use so I can patch this Bios up to 64GB or up to 128GB.

Does anybody else have a patched BIOS for this motherboard? Denniss was supposed to send it to me months ago but he never did

Nevermind, nobody could help me so I figured out how to patch the 7/21/97 BIOS myself following these directions: http://www.ryston.cz/petr/bios/award.html
Tested and works.
