Is it normal for a socket 7 motherboard (Abit TX5) to not work perfectly with a Sata pci card (sil3114 in ide mode)?
The card gets detected as i can see it in the irq table,
but i seems that i cannot get a drive to be recognized be it in windows 98se install or a freedos bootdisk.
Also weird is that the card got recognized by the flash to so i could set it too ide mode (alteast it said flash exit code 0).
Also hdsdos did found the disk and gave me its correct details.
I am trying to get this card to work because the motherboard has a 8gb limit and the dma mode won't work with my ide drive.
Could it be something with the pci compliance mode that i can only set to 2.1?
Any help would be apreciated.
EDIT: I got the motherboard to recognize it but W98SE setup still doesn't find it.
