In this case I dont think so... the hard disk has a sticker on it saying "Type 159"
but the Gsetup.exe program only sees 47 different types so I am looking for alternatives ...

SCSI drives don’t present their true geometry, they are just blocks. If it does show to the system with a geometry, it’s just a lie that the scsi controller bios is telling for compatibility reasons. I’ve never seen a scsi drive setup in the bios by picking a drive type.
Make sure that your scsi controller boot bios exists and is enabled. Then you might need to go into the scsi setup and select the correct bootable ID. Or some older cards can only boot from scsi ID 0. If that’s the case make sure your drive is jumpered for ID 0.

It would be the first time I've ever seen a case where SCSI disk geometry needs to be entered in BIOS. Also it would be the first time ever I'd see a setup program with that many types. I would just ignore the sticker and assume it works like every other PC SCSI controller + drive setup on the planet.

The old uloz.to link in my first post decided to kick the bucket, so I've decided to mirror these two ROMs on my webpage.
Since the settings of this forum prevent me from editing my post with the new links, here's the BIOS setup utility to be used as an expansion ROM or inside the IBM PC AT BIOS chip. As always, source codes and installation details provided.
Cheers
