Hello,
It's for a pretty old PC that still works!!
I could get no information from MSI-Microsystem website (motherboard).
The motherboard number is PCIP54CTR4.
On the bios, i can read : PCI/PNP 586 then S/N : 051378873 V.

I don't know if the upgrade id still available, but thanks for everything.

Seems to be the MSI-5128.

Forget the "Update Date" field. They're all screwed up. Go for version 1.9, which is the latest (1997/3/24), although the update description of v1.7 is what applies to v1.9.

Hi,

Just want to know what is the hard drive limit size my new bios can see. My 16 Go is ok, but what is the biggest one?

Thanks again, even if u don't know.

According to the BIOS release date, the largest is 8GB.

yeah, but since the whole version thingy and the release date thingy seems to be screwed up for those, who can tell what the ACTUAL release date might have been?

v1.9 is the latest one. 8.4GB only.

Hi,
I thought it was larger, because my 16 GB HD is read!
