Hi,
I'm rebuilding my old 486 DX/4 PC and I have problems getting the CD-ROM Drive connected to the system. If I connect the IDE cable to the CF IDE Card reader (Master) and a CD-ROM Drive (Slave) (tried several) the system won't even boot.

I have a GENOA SYSTEMS VELOCE 8600 VLIO combo graphics and I/O card. I have the feeling that the jumper settings on the card are not set correctly. The problem is that I don't have the user manual anymore and searching for it on the internet did not give any result.

Does anybody have an electronic version of the manual to share with me. I think this would help me to understand the problem I'm currently having with the CD-ROM Drive. Also, maybe this might help me to solve the problem that when formatting the CF card under DOS 6.22 does not give me more than 540 MB regardless of the actual size of the CF card.

Thanks!!!
