TomG:

Can you tell me what the latest BIOS upgrade you have for BE6-II v2.0 mobo?

And can you give me some info about it?

Thanks

well, the "latest" is something that was provided to me that combines 72
mainboard bios with 2.351 Highpoint bios and has the drivers packaged with
it as well. there is also a fine candidate (like a good wine...) in the
"Z72C" bios which combines 72 mainboard bios with 2.32 (I believe...)
Highpoint bios.

I cannot speak first hand for the 2.351 Highpoint bios so I don't know what
the benefits are over 2.32... here are the comments from the readme in the
bios/driver set from Highpoint:

v2.351 01/05/2004
* Add "use private stack" option in BIOS (to fix DOS6.22 booting
fail)
* Fix 66M PCI support

v2.35 08/04/2003
* Add 302/302N support

v2.345 05/09/2003

* Fix Windows "LDM configuration disk write error"

v2.344 04/11/2003
* Fix clock calculation
* Fix driver compatibility issue on SOYO SY-P4IP mainboard

v2.342 03/24/2003
* Fix HPT370A timing
* Add RAID 1.5 support

v2.34 10/17/2002
* Add HPT372N controller support
* Fix hptpro.sys compatibility issue with NIS2003 on FAT partition

v2.33 09/17/2002
* Fix 48bit LBA compatibility
* Add RocketMate support

v2.32 07/01/2002

* Fix hptpro.sys problem on Windows XP system restore and sparse
files
