If your BIOS was not set to AHCI when you installed XP then you cannot change to AHCI after. Changing AHCI affects Windows boot as AHCI has to be in the same state (either as AHCI or Legacy/IDE mode) as of time of XP Installation. You also must use the intel F6 boot AHCI driver when installing XP. …

Got my SD11, looks brand new as advertised. Seller said no accessories, but it also included an I/O shield, a separate Lotes strip (for protecting against HSF overhang?), and an IDE cable. Also snagged the fastest 1999 Athlon (AMD-K7750MTR52B A) for this board. Nice ! FIC always made good boards …

Warlord is correct, there is a Retail full 98SE upgrade edition that will upgrade from 95 or 98 to 98SE. The 98SE Update edition only upgrades from 98 to 98SE. The retail full 98SE upgrade may not work on some OEM Win95 installs but should on all retail Win95 installs. added: Even my retail Win98SE …

Put the original ram back in and check the BIOS for a mem parity setting and disable then try the new ram again. In my experience have had bad luck with any 3 chip 30pin simm above 256k in size on any 286 or slower/older 386. The 9 chip 1Mb and 4Mb seem to always work fine though.

I think if you just run DOS version of Mojo from a DOS boot it should not hurt the card missing the caps and should give you a report if the card is detected proper. If so then proceed with fixing the caps. I would be very wary of booting into Windows and running any major tests that will actually …

yeah a good exacto knife would work or a small needle as you said SSTV2. As far as the missing caps: probably knocked off by same thing that bent the pins being they are SMT and not solder thru type.
