Greetings

I'm looking into updating the bios of my motherboard to check if I can enable >32Gb drive support.

I saw another thread on this topic for the same motherboard

Graphic card and SDRAM recommendation for MSI MS-5158 motherboard

In there is a post by Jan (chkcpu) mentioning two versions of the board

"
I know of only two MS-5158 board revisions, Rev 1. and Rev 1.1.
The W5158MS V1.4 040898 BIOS is the latest for Rev 1. boards and
the W5158MS V2.1 040898 BIOS is meant for the Rev 1.1 board.
Apart from a small difference in the Hardware Monitor support, these BIOSes are identical.
"

It looks like I have a V2.0 bios on rev 1. board? This is how the computer came to me

I've extracted the bios if anyone who knows what they're doing wants to take a look at it. I don’t seem to be able to post it on here.

Can you post the BIOS? I have the same board (1.A) and it seems that your BIOS isn't archived on The Retro Web. It's dated 10/17/97 instead of 10/28/97 like most of them are.
