Hi all...
I just recently got to the point of beginning to test this Controller. And all I know about it, is that it's an Caching IDE ISA Controller from Promise. I have no idea on what the model name is, and I can't search for documentation on it. Total hardware 99 does not seem to have any entry under the name "Promise" for this card. Wich sucks a bit.
The issue that I have, is that the IDE port of this card seems to be dead. If the card is supposed to show some kind of BIOS during post of the machine, then this card does not even do that. (Though the Floppy controller on the card is working, so something is working on this card)
I have tried to disable and enable all HDD controller settings in the BIOS and disable enable all shadow memory.
I have tried to swap the sim modules around, and I have tried other modules.
I have tried the harddrive that is working with a VLB controller in the machine, and I have tried an old 540mb and a CF card.
Nothing seems to be working for me. Though the activity led on the CF adaptor is flashing faintly when detecting HDD in the BIOS.
This all tells me, that at least something is going on.
If someone here knows anything about the model number or have any info on settings, I would be happy.
Picture of the card:
