Hi.
I'm building a P3 1G (eventually Tualatin when it arrives) 440BX (Aopen AX6BC) nostaliga box.
I'm having issues installing drivers for the SIL3114 based SATA card. My MB recognises it, W98 installed fine on a 160G HD running on it, and it boots and runs Windows fine too. Now I'm trying to get its drivers installed which is proving to be very difficult. All the readme's included with the five or so versions of the W98 drivers I've downloaded refer to inserting the driver diskette in to A:\ and selecting this as the driver location from the device properties.
Copying the various .sys, .inf, .vxd etc files to a floppy and clicking 'specify a location for the driver' results in Windows not being able to find a suitable driver in that location. Same when just pointing it to a HD directory containing the files.
These are the files:
si3114.cat
SI3114.inf
Si3114.mpd
Si3114.sys
SiiSupp.vxd
SilSupp.cpl
SiWinAcc.sys
TxtSetup.oem
Anyone know what the deal is? In fact I'd love to get some general info on why things like this issue happen in Win98 - including why midway through installing a driver you get the "please insert disk labelled Windows 98" message followed by the inevitable error because the Win98 CD is clearly not where the drivers you're trying to install are located.
Any info is greatly appreciated - I'd really like to start doing some sweet 1.5gb/s transfers (lol right).
Cheers!
