Seems these boards may be tricky to get stable Problematic ASUS TUA266 – Socket 370 board with ALI ALLADIN PRO 5T chipset As this setup was on a 120GB drive, I assume your 80GB isn't the issue. There's a 1004.010 Beta BIOS - have you tried that? https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/sock370 … 66/ …

Have you tried any available drivers for the "FastTrak S150 TX4" with your card - what Promise sometimes refer to as a 'Lite' version of a card means that the onboard BIOS is restricted to the number of SATA ports/ RAID level which is supported, so in your case perhaps you'll only be able to add 2 …

Are you able to get the board to boot reliably with working video, keyboard & floppy drive using the following setup? - - board + PSU + 1 cpu + 1 stick of memory + vga card + USB keyboard + floppy drive If so, can you enter BIOS setup and change / save settings? Have you tried it with a bootable DOS …

the air flow design on that case tho makes little since. Why not? The bottom is likely perforated, and as you can see on the pictures there's room below most of the bottom plate. Hot air naturally rises, and gets expelled from the top. Of course the design is also a great vacuum cleaner (unless it …

Sorry to see you're no nearer a working board so, as promised, I've had a much closer look at your pics in comparison to my board and have a few additional observations - - there's a capacitor between the USB ports and the parallel / com ports (looks to be the same as on mine, an ELNA-branded 10v …

@facecard, that's good & with these kinds of issues any progress is welcome :) , although I'd wonder why the jumper was set that way in the first place - was it something you'd tried since getting the board out of storage or has it been that way for these 15 odd years? Do you ever remember trying to …

On an initial look I dont see anything obvious component-wise when compared to my board (also REV 1.1 but about 16 months newer from May 2000) - I'll make a more detailed comparison later. What I do see however is that in jumper on JBT1 is set to pins 2-3 which is 'clear cmos' when by default it …
