I've got the original CD and it works perfectly under Windows 7 X64, using a Nvidia graphics card and in 32bit colour. Make sure you install the 1.01 patch. Also install the texture fixes and option files and it should work perfectly. Download patch and files from this link. http://forsakenx.github …

flashing bios and doing the hardware mod is on the right path. also, how do you plan on modding the ide cable out of curiosity?
