[plug] BIOS update for VIA MVP3?

[John Knight]

Ahhh, crossed wires, it's not that it can't read past 8G, it's that unless 
the hard drive has the jumper set to "limit to 32G", the bios ca'nt actually 
see it, it jsut hangs around a lot doing nothing. :(
I'll havea  bit more of a gander, cheers mate! :)
P.S. I've set up a 20G on a mate's 133, runs with no worries despite the 8G 
thing. :)
