	HELP! Please?

	I have an IBM AT, with an AT-339 (fairly standard) motherboard,
	and the Award BIOS 3.01B. My problem is that I need to use and
	configure the CMOS RAM for hard disk type 40 on fixed disk 1 (C:),
	but the hard disk tables in the BIOS only support up to 27 or so!
	All the other entries are zero's!!

	This means I need a new BIOS (mine already is dated Jan 1 1988)???

	If it is pertinent, the controller is a Western Digital WD1002-WA2
	Revision RX1, dated 1984, and the disk is a Seagate ST-251 (40ms).
	Right now it runs as type 3, but it is WICKED SLOW (Norton DI of 0.3).

	Thanks for all your help in advance!
