There's no known newer Bios but yours may be patcheable. Do you have a Bios-ID for us ?
-> Latest Bios I was able to find is 1.21 (4/1997) and a 6/1997 OEM-Version but no 1.22C.

Please use Uniflash to backup your current Bios and send it to my E-Mail and I'll take a look at it.

The file you sent to me is the Maxdata OEM-Version. You'll find a patched version (up to 60GB) here: http://wims.rainbow-software.org/denniss/
