1] HenrikS say:

"- Bios update itself was successful (using Award 5.33)
- After resetting cmos, HD started working again
- Had problems with PCI IRQ (only slot 4 could assign IRQs!) for network adapter (RTL8139 pci) or VGA (S3-Virge)
- Bios has setting for on-board joystick - even if the hardware is NOT present!
- Bios setting for "On-Chip IDE use #MIRQ" causes hdd to fail if enabled
- IRQ-steering apparantly not working optimal (Win98se)
- Display is still black at warm-boot (I use a monochrome display on an S3-Virge at the moment on that machine); pressing reset switch works ok
- Downgrading bios to original version currently unsuccessful - flash programs do not work - either programs freeze or reject original bios version.  Annoying!  I would like to step back to the old BIOS to assess what BIOS is best.  Bios chip is SST 29EE010.  Award Flasher versions 533, 753 and 810 used without success.
- HDD no udma - PIO4 is max in bios (as previous - FX chipset limitation? <ndr. Yes>)

Testing is not completed.
Status: Apparently no improvement from your "new" bios, but instead a few problems.

<Note>
- Bios downgrade using 29c010 worked. 
- HDD > 8GB are NOT recognised correct by bios or DOS in any of my 2 bios versions
- My IBM 75GXP 30GB appear be accessable in Win98se (using old bios)
- In old bios, all 4 pci has IRQ working (which is not the case in your bios)
- Apparantly only flaws of my mainboard are HDD > 8GB and no video after warm boot"
