How about run auto detect first, then go back to standard setup menu and change the entry for the secondary to "none"

just override the auto detect and set secondary master and slave to "not installed" the BIOS does NOT need to be aware of the CDROM for it to work

CoffeeOne, Thanks for your response. I have attached a picture of the card. I also was surprised that the Tyan card only has one IDE connector. I have the port set to 170 on the second card. It doesn't have an option to set the IRQ. I found a page with the jumper settings at: https://stason.org/ …

when using the XUB (XTIDE Universal BIOS) to control "modern" 16/32-bit IDE controllers, you must change the parameters in the ROM to support that if you are using a card which was designed to be a drop-in XTIDE solution for XT machines, it is almost certainly configured incorrectly for your use …

all of the ISA multi I/O+IDE+FDC cards I've seen with jumpers to change the IDE port do not also offer the option to change the IRQ

I read pin9 is used to power the eeprom inside some monitors which then spits back on pin15 the monitor name etc. Hence it supposedly works even if the monitor is powered off. Anyway I bought one of each on ebay...I need a thick cable to replace this thin vga cable I have been using and that I …

See here: https://www.computerhope.com/ac.htm Also make sure you are using a compatible device driver for your CDROM drive. Try this one : CDROM driver videcdd.sys https://www.philscomputerlab.com/ms-dos-starter-pack.html Beware, VIDE-CDD.SYS is one of the smallest, not one of the most compatible …
Re: 386 PC with both diskette and floppy drive
Posted on 2020-03-25, 00:59
it would really help if you used the correct terminology - both 3.5" and 5.25" diskette drives are "floppy drives" and none of them use an IDE cable the older 5.25" use a 34-pin edge connector, and the newer ones use a 34-pin 0.100" pitch pin header - both of them IDC (Insulation Displacement …

The reason for doing this is for two reasons. The first is it'll be fun and the second is the battery will be the only thing that ever needs to be replaced. I've ordered a CR2042 button battery holder, a DS12887 chip, a 24 pin socket and a 6pF 32.768kHz crystal. This should be fun :) Thanks for the …

Why not just buy a brand new DS12887+ from digikey? Anybody knows the difference between DS12887A+ and DS12887+ ? the difference is the presence of the RCLR pin. The A part can be used anywhere that the non-A can since you have an A part already, grab an A from digikey https://www.digikey.com/ …

Actually it's not such a silly question, the DS1287 is basically just a DS1285 with built-in battery. So a DS1285 (or better: DS12885, for Y2K support) could be the basis for your own battery mod. yeah but if you already have the chip removed from the motherboard why screw around with a battery mod …
