I have a 486 using the MS-4137 motherboard.
It has been working fine with a CF adapter connected to the primary IDE channel on my VLB I/O card.
Now I've been trying to install a CD-ROM, and I want to use the secondary IDE channel because of space and cable issues, but I can't get it to work.
If I connect the CF card (Master) and CD-ROM (slave) to the primary IDE channel everything works fine, but I move the CD-ROM to the secondary channel it is not detected at all.
I think both channels are enabled with the jumpers on the VLB card, and I've even tried another VLB card with two channels but I can't get that one to work either.
Anyone know if some 486 mobos simply can't handle two IDE channels?
