Greetings,

Last night I began building a computer from parts I had laying around the house.

here's what we have
600mhz P3
unknown mb
512 ram
32mb graphics card (nvidia tnt)
80 gig hd.

Now I know older motherboards wouldnt recognize the hard drives over 32 gigs. Could someone please help me find a bios update for this unknown motherboard? Trust me, I've checked every square inch of it and I do not see a identification on it. heres what I know about it:

it has a VIA chipset (vt82c693a)
award bios code:01/05/2000-693-596A-DD-2A6LGD4FC-00

Thanks for any help!

Looks like an Apollo Pro133, or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you can try the Hyperion drivers:

Or maybe this driver if you're going to run Win9x OSs:
