I have 3 with dos and windows 3.11 with the following mother orders ASUS P5A-B, FIC VA502 and a KM-S4-1 / Rectron RT. What I would like to have 32bit disk access File access in Windows 3.11.
On the KM-S4-1 / Rectron RT with a 30GB transfer SSD that is seen by BIOS as 8GB the maximum that DOS can use over 4 partitions. I can enable 32bit disk access with the Micro House Driver and get a significant improvement in the speed of the hard drive.
On the FIC VA502 with a 120GB Samsung 840 SSD it is seen as 120 GB by the BIOS and is divided into 4 parties with the largest ones that can handle DOS and Windows 3.11 at most. The rest of the space is not partitioned. If I install the Micro House Driver for 32bit disk access here. I get a bsod when I try to start Windows 3.11.
On the ASUS P5A-B with a 120GB Samsung 840 pro SSD it is seen as 120 GB by the BIOS and is divided into 4 parties with the largest ones that can handle DOS and Windows 3.11 at maximum. The rest of the space is not partitioned. If I install the Micro House Driver for 32bit disk access here. I get a message that my IDE controller is not supported when I want to start Windows 3.11 and then Windows 3.11 does start.
I can get 32bit File Access to work on all 3 motherboards and it also provides a significant speed improvement. Can someone please explain to me what exactly 32bit File Access does?
Who knows how I can get the 32 bit disk access working on these 2 motherboards on my ASUS P5A-B and FIC VA502?
