Hello Everyone,

I would like to try and find a newer compatible BIOS for an ASI-BAT motherboard so the computer will recognise the 1.44mb floppy disk and I'd like to use a CF adaptor for a HDD option. The current BIOS seems to be a very early type and detects the 3.5" as 1.2mb with no option to change, it's a similar issue to this thread 286 BIOS detecting 1.44Mb floppy drive as a 1.2Mb. There are some software fixes on the second page I will try as well.
