I have a 5170 with the 11-85 ibm bios. I want to add an ide drive to this system. I have searched and what i believe to be the best option is to use a 16 bit multi controller and use the xtide bios in the socket of the 3c509 i have. My question is about burning the chip. I have a 64k eeprom.that i am lead to believe can be flashed in my xtide r4 board that i have installed in my 5160. The other thing is i assume the 12k bios image for AT systems would be the best to select, but i didn't know if someone that knows about this knda thing could cook me up a 64k bin image that would flash without too much issue, since i am unsure how to write 12 k to a 64k space.
