Hello! I bought from an old lady for 1 (one) Euro a pre-assembled Highscreen Vobis Mid-Tower in pristine condition, that still boot fine the win98 installed

P3 500 slot 1
Ati Rage Pro Turbo AGP
ESS TTSolo1-SL VER 1.2

Nothing fancy, but since my only project was a HP thinclient T5710 I am pretty happy πŸ˜€

the motherboard is a MSI MS-6163 Rev 1.0 and from research I understood it's the OEM version. At post is named MS-6163VA

Bios version 1.0B6f without support for big HD

I made a fatal mistake....

on MSI support page for MS-6163VA downloaded bios 3.5 (which Support IDE HDD size over 65G)
I flashed it only to realize on post that the bios found on support page of MS-6163VA is wrong, because system hang with name MS-6199VA (or maybe it's not wrong, but maybe it's the version for MS-6163 Rev 2.0 which is the Not OEM version... I don't know)

So Now I managed to flash from WIMSBIOS the origial 1.0B6f * MSI MS-6163VA patched for 128GB HDD
But the system it's not stable at all

The Question is... : PLEASE! Does anybody have copy of the original OEM BIOS 1.0B6f ? I can live without big HD support! πŸ˜€ I cannot find it anywhere...

Thanks in advance! Ciao!
