I'm not sure which bios it is currently, I *just* installed it. I did
check, and I was confused. I actually have a be6-2 as well, which means the
info I presented is even more relevant to the original question:) I'm not
using the HPT controller yet, need new drives first:), but bios upgrade is
next on my list of things to do.
