You can always use an option ROM like the one I've uploaded here:

Or XT-IDE etc. If the mainboard has no socket for an option ROM, you can also put it onto a network card.

thanks for answering,
i don't know about or how to put it on a network card.
no empty socket.
will your option rom work if its flashed to the bios chip as a stand-alone?

i made a typeo -- the other guy is esc2dos,, i spazed the shift key i guess

You'll need an EEPROM programmer and a network card that supports a plugin ROM.

No, that will brick the motherboard. This is an Option ROM, which supplements the existing BIOS code by adding features.

If you don't have a network card with a ROM socket, or an EEPROM programmer, I'd recommend just using drive overlay software.
