I've bought two of these IDE PCI controller. It is a Promise Fasttrak 66 PCI controller with two IDE ports.
Normally i want to install this card in my AMD K6-2 Retro PC, to have the ability to install more IDE drives. The mainboard has the standard two of them, and because i have a lot of IDE ribbon cables with the standard length, I'm restricted to add devices due to length of the cable, and i have only the max. of two additional devices to the mainboard.
The OS shall be Windows 95b (4.00.950B).
I've downloaded the Promise drivers (version 2.00 and 1.30) but with Win95, i am not able to install the drivers correctly. Anytime, when i set the link to the place where the Win9x drivers are, then windows95 says: The driver for the component was not found.
Actually i have no real idea, what is the problem. I have no interrupt problem, the settings in BIOS are AUTO, and actuall now the Promise card is at IRQ12. This is normally for the PS/2 mouse port, but i have a mouse connected to serial port.
