I saw that one, but I am not sure if you can still get the PCB. However, are there schematics or a PCB layout for these controllers?
8 Bit IDE Controller
Posted on 2017-08-16, 16:36
Hello Everyone, It's been a long time since I've been on these forums! Anyways, I'll get into it. Basically, I have a PC XT clone sporting a 8088 (not sure if it's a -2 or not) board that I want to build a system around. However, all I have is a MFM controller, and both MFM drives I have are siezed. …

Nice! However, the NUCs are probably better at heat though, since the Pentium 4s were space heaters. I have a minitower GX280, which is the next model up, with a socket 775 board instead of 478.

Why would you use Server 2003? Is it a server of some sort?

Did you try reseting the CMOS on the motherboard? Also, try putting the controller in different slots. That may get it to work. The 386 boards are a pain to get hard drive controllers working in them (I had a DX 25mhz and I spent many a day trying to get it to work, and finally did). It is a good …

Are the PCIX Sata and SAS cards suitable for RAID? And, what interface is the 320GB drive (SATA, SAS, IDE?) And, are you willing to part with any other 775 or similar AMD boards?

On my Supermicro Board, it has an integrated IDE controller. However, I will have like 6 drives hooked up at a time. And, to getting to the internet in Windows 2000, not happening. Windows 2000 won't even boot at all.

Yeah, well this was supposed to be on that Supermicro board which I can't find the drivers for. It has an ISA slot.

Well, people usually write viruses and other programs to scam people specifically targeting the OSes that most people use. So, even though this may be considered "Off" in thinking, using an older OS may actually be safer than the new one that everyone is using.

I still stick with Windows XP. Yeah, some new stuff doesn't run on it, but hey, it works! Windows XP is WAY more mature than Windows 7 and 8 and even 10. That awesome Luna theme is still great. You can use Windows XP if you are careful, and don't go on shady websites. It still works because a lot of …

I wanted to try multiple ISA I/O controllers on a motherboard that already has an integrated controller. If I get the IRQ settings changed on these cards, would it be possible? I am building an IDE fileserver, and the board I am using has a couple of ISA slots on it.

Ok... Tried Win 98 SE (I believe?) from a K6-2 450 machine. Nothing... an unknown error, Code 5. No clue what that means. Edit: Ok, that works! It loads in, but it found a bunch of unknown hardware. Then, it gave an error that an illegal operation ocurred, and it will shut down. The only problem is …

I got the LAN driver from the official Intel website, here:https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/21/I … rnet-Controller. I don't REALLY want to use Windows 9x, since this is going to be a fileserver. However, I will try that. It may be Windows ME though...

IDE disk. It is a Western Digital 40GB hard drive. The CD I'm using is a self-booting, and I used it to sucessfully install Win 2K on another computer. The Supermicro board has SCSI headers, but the original owner opted not to get a board populated with SCSI sockets. I can't tell you where I got the …

Ok, I have tried installing W2K Advanced server, but I would get as far as the reboot and load into the OS, and then get a BSOD that says "Inacessable Boot Device". I then tried installing Server 2003, wouldn't even complete install without a disk copy error. I then tried installing W2KAS on my 40GB …

I just went and grabbed the driver for the NIC on the Intel website. Do you happen to know any other boards that have the same chipset?

I just found that one a few minutes ago, but I can't find chipset drivers, only BIOS, LAN and graphics.

Do you know of any other boards that have this same chipset? I have looked and found very little about this chipset. The problem I'm having is that Windows 2000 keeps giving me "Inacessable Boot Device" and refuses to boot.
