I have found and flashed a beta bios V1011.005 as this reports will accept larger 
hard drives (but fails to say what size up to?) I have checked the Primary IDE channel 
(10GB IBM Drive) and it reports it is using ULTRA DMA Mode2, so at least that is 
supported, if you do find out any more information about supported hard drive sizes 
it would be appreciated before I purchase one.

I would like to change the motherboard but funds do not allow it at the moment (out 
of work) and this motherboard was given to me and the case cost me £5 (secondhand) 
so I will carry on with the project.
