More testing of the DFI G7S620-N motherboard.
Ran into an issue using CF cards. I'd previously been using them with an adapter that plugs directly into the IDE slot. That always worked fine.
However, when connecting an adapter with a ribbon cable I started having issues with the cards not booting or being recognized by FDISK. Solution was to disable UDMA mode in the BIOS. Oddly, one CF still worked with UDMA mode enabled, while three others did not.
I also did a test install of Windows 98 SE. Windows 98 SE seems to work fine.
Further did some testing adding both an Audigy 2 ZS and Orpheus II sound cards. It took a couple attempts, but I was able to get them both installed and configured. The main thing I wanted was to have CD audio and MPU-401 playback with the Orpheus, and digital audio with the Audigy 2 ZS. This did work.
Did some further testing with the Orpheus II under DOS. Currently I've reserved IRQ 5 for the main Crystal chip, and am using IRQ 3 for GUS. Everything seems to work.
This board uses a lot of system resources, so resource management is going to be a challenge.
