If you don't need more memory than the 512MB you've already bought, just buy a pair of the dummy continuity RIMMs (CRIMMs) to fill the other two slots

@bofh.fromhell - thanks a lot! :) I looked on the wayback machine for a few hours but as all I could find were dead links, I almost gave up. You saved me a lot of hours of searching. Much appreciated! :) I have an external programmer so I can play at my heart's content with any BIOS version. …

Did you scrub any translated partition / format created by the Jaz SCSI adapter before you attached it to the Adaptec - if not, it may be a mismatch in how the extended translation scheme is being interpreted Can you post a screenshot of the Advanced Host Adapter Settings on the Adaptec - this …

What I find works quite well is short lengths of hot glue sticks trimmed to fit Thanks! You can confirm they don’t melt after a longer period of time? It would be a shame if the glue would eventually got “runny” enough to slip into the CPU slot. No they don't melt :) - most glue guns operate …

I have since flashed the motherboard bios to the Intel P17, and yes, I did lose the Micron splash screen, it was replaced with an intel splash. Made me frown, but, it was worth it for the hugely improved BIOS over P02, I dont regret flashing it. After searching the old hard drive, it did not have …

Hello. Quick question. Can't find manual for that adapter, but it's seen larger drives only as 8GB. I tried three disks 18-36GB and it's 8GB only. I'm on K6-2+ ss7 mobo. Winodws 98. IDE drives there 80GB and 120GB, but that's mobo built-in. Just wondering if it's just limitation of this adapter? Or …
