ok i just attached the saem cdrom to the io controller in my 386
and when i boot now i get 3 beeps followed by 9 beeps
and it just doesnt want to boot frm the floppy
so i guess i can take this as a confirmation that my io controller in this machine does not work with ATAPI Devices at all
ok i spoke too soon!
i reseated the io controller and the beeps are gone!!!
it was giving me a keyboard error too.. i guess that was caused by the io controller not being seated properly in its slot?
(from re attachign the ide controller cable i guess)
anyway its working on the 386 now aswell!! as MASTER
ill see if i can change to SLAVE but something tells me this cheap io controller only does a single IDE master device! but i could be wrong! i hope im wrong!
ive got everything working now! the C: drive SD CARD is working simultaneously with the CDROM set as slave
its a mitsumi cd driver that works..
anyway im just glad to have a working cd on my 386!!!!
i thought this io controller couldnt support it! but i guess i was wrong..
now all i need is another ATAPI compatible IDE port for my ZIP100 drive and im set
