From Wim's AWARD page :

I430VX-02071997C-00: Houston Technologies or PcChips or Mastonic 5500 or Zida (tomato board) 5SVX or MG (Microgram) or Eurone matsonic ms-5010

Is there a patched BIOS available here??

That BIOS was used on Amptron PM8800 alias PC-Chips M525. For 20GB you should be able to use their BIOS.
For HDD over 32GB you should be able to use the patched BIOS for PC-Chips i430VX with UMC I/O (M520, M525, M530, etc) at the "tested BIOSes" link in my signature. Your "BIOS eval" says 1997 S, so use the small block flash version.
Tested patched BIOSes. Untested patched BIOSes.

He has two of these boards. Plans to use a 20GB and 80GB HDD. Sent him a re-patched BIOS for >64GB support and am expecting to receive some feedback shortly.
