This is an old Tomato/Zida 5DTX-TC motherboard, pcb rev. 2.03. Zida.com no longer supports it. I already updated the bios to the latest I could find on the net. I use the comp based on this motherboard as a download center, and with broadband the old 10 gig hdd filled up really quick. I got hold of a 80 gig Seagate drive (ST380021A). The bios hangs at hdd detection, so I had to use the capacity limiter jumper, and now only 32 gigs are accessible. What a waste :( but still better than 10 gigs, and a whole lot faster, as well. :)Program: eSupport.com BIOS Agent Version 3.31

I love this board, it even runs Windows XP flawlessly, and I would like to keep it as long as possible, so I please make me a fix for this problem. I read much of the site, and I see that fixing the 32 gb barrier is easier compared to the 65gb barrier I may encounter after the 32 gb is fixed. If its hard to do, a 32 gb only fix would be most welcome as well. I have a 40 gig drive I use as a portable disk in a firewire enclosure, as a last resort I could swap that with the 80 gig. Why i dont do that in the first place is that I am worried that the 80 gig drive, which is 7200prm, would generate too much heat in the fanless firewire enclosure.
Thank You All In Advance, Ben(69)
