k7s5a v3 bios update for 160gig drive?

Something might have changed since last I researched this but only the Pro
version will see drive larger than 137GB. I think it's a HW limitation of
the IDE controller, not just the BIOS, but I can't remember for sure. The
good news is that it's easily fixed with a $10 IDE ATA133 paddle card from
NewEgg. I've used the NewEgg house brand ('Koutek' and of late, 'Best')
boards as well as Promise 133 controllers (much more expensive) without
issue. A fringe benefit is that all IDE devices can be made masters so
there aren't any bizarre jumper conflicts.
