Hi guys
I have the PCChips/Hsin Tech M599LMR motherboard - and it is running fine - except the Super IO. I have no Floppy and not COM/LPT.
According to the picture on TheRetroWeb https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/pcchips-m599lmr, this board has an ITE IT8770F Super IO - but mine has an ITE IT8661F. I thought, it might be the ECS Version of that board and I tried flashing the Award Bios. That just slowed down everything and the board became quite unstable - so I flashed back the M599LMR Bios.
With the PCChips BIOS, I have about 400 in 3DBench 1.0c - with the ECS Bios, that went down to about 200. With the PCChips Bios, I have no COM, IR, LPT in Windows - With the ECS Bios, they show up but give me hardware conflicts. I cannot get the floppy controller working with anyt of the BIOSes.
Does any of you guys have a PCChips M599LMR with an ITE IT8661F Super IO - AND a working on board Floppy Controller. If you do, would it be possible for you to back up your BIOS and share it with me?
Thank you
Best regards
