When you boot the computer with older AMI bios the last letter in the bottom bios string is the Keyboard controller version. example: 40-00AG-001247-00101111-060692-SIS3486- F. The -F is the "KBC rom version". Try to match the version as not all are interchangeable but many are. Seeing 1986 AMI on …

Hmm So it passes a BIOS Seek test but does not come ready with a formatted disk in it ? maybe it does not like the controller or the drive has a sensor failure or other bad part.

Yeah sorry I just finished reading and noted you had asked about the driver near a decade ago. Too bad DFI dropped all their old drivers too, nothing good on Wayback in 1997..

Most all 3.5" newer drives have no jumpers and are locked at DS1 to be used at end of the cable. Yeah the B drive should be set a DS1 and put before the twist. Does the drive have well labeled jumpers ? Or are they just numbered ? The HD, MM and DCH should all be jumpered, some controllers/OS do not …

I could test them, but if somebody is closer shipping should be a bit less. The thing about the K6-2+ and K6-III+ CPUs is that even though they are rated at 2.0v, they are usually not completely stable without 2.1v Also, a lot of SS7 boards don't list voltages that low but the jumper settings will …
