I tried to install a Maxtor 40GB disk, but it's not recognized.
Saw a post from Rainbow with a patched bios - think was 1A6 - I download it from http://http://wims.rainbow-software.org.
Question is: I'm using 1A8. Will 1A6 recognize the 40GB disk ? Is 1A8 newer than 1A6 ?

It's NOT the same board
Your board is SY-6BB, the BIOS at http://http://wims.rainbow-software.org is for SY-6BB v1.0.
I'll send you correct patched BIOS.
