Hey there
working on my new Dual Pentium Pro 200 build and had to find out that as soon as the LS-120 drive is connected as primary slave to the main hard drive, neither Win 98SE installs (freezes at early graphical setup) nor Windows 2000 (crashes during PnP init with BSOD).
All drives, including the LS-120, are detected correctly during POST.
Specs:
Tyan S1668 Motherboard
2x Pentium Pro 200
128 MB EDO RAM (2x 32MB, 4x 16MB)
Some WD 4GB HDD (Primary Master)
LS-120 IDE drive (Primary Slave)
PX-712A (Secondary Master)
ZIP 100 ATAPI (Secondary Slave)
Voodoo 3 2000 PCI
3COM 3C900-TPO PCI
Creative CT4810 PCI
As soon as I disconnect the LS-120, Windows 98SE as well as Windows 2000 install fine.
Anyone seen this behaviour?
Didn't try a BIOS upgrade yet, to be honest.
Thanks!
