Fighting the Chaintech CT-6ESA…

While doing verification on physical Penitum II 333MHz hardware using the Chaintech CT-6ESA motherboard for ProtoThings.Tech Linux the BIOS randomly decided that it no longer liked the firmware modded SSD, reduced to 128GB from 240GB. After much confusion I decided to start with a fresh copy of the BIOS downloaded from The Retro Web Chaintech CT-6ESA archive. I then used BIOS Patcher v4.21 to add support for large disks and flashed the modified BIOS and we are now back in business. I still have no idea as to why I needed to reflash but it might be an issue with the AT29C010A ROM.
