Here is a link to the AZZA BIOS download page:

Make sure that your existing BIOS is not already the new version before attempting to Flash the BIOS.

Please read and follow ALL precautions listed for flashing the BIOS.
A bad flash, or using the wrong file can kill your motherboard.

Since the BIOS revision is dated 1998, I suspect that you may still have problems with large hard drives even with the update.

There are 3rd party companies that will write you a custom BIOS for around $70 (US)

I recommend instead that you install a new PCI IDE controller card.
For under $30 (US) you not only get support for large hard drives, you get a new controller that is able to operate the drive at it's full data transfer speed.

If the controller on your motherboard is UDMA, or UDMA33, you will see a significant performance improvement with a new IDE controller.
