a5_b13b.zip WARNING! This in an unofficial BETA BIOS for out of warranty mainboards! Use at your own risk!
Advance 5 BETA BIOS version 1.3b for SpeedEasy and LogoEasy. FLASH.EXE Version 1.3 included!
(support PCB v1.0 only)

BIOS Modified:
1. Support 76.8GB HDD. (However that is strictly capacity and it does not say anything about compatibilty with ATA66 or ATA 100 type harddrives. Most ATA66 or ATA100 drives should have no problem to also work on ATA33 (UDMA/33) IDE based mainboard at ATA33. However some of them do require the use of a so called 80-lead (ATA66/100) IDE cable. It looks like a normal IDE cable but it has the words "SYSTEM", "MASTER" and "SLAVE" printed on it near the connectors.)
2. Fixed Celeron being reported as Pentium III.
