I'm wondering if that would make sense to buy this card ( or this kind of ) To have DMA133 instead of DMA33 with this mobo.

I'm currently focusing on my Voodoo2 issue, trying to see if using the PIII 450 helps or not. So far my IDE-Sata Adapter does the job pretty well so I'll check for the Sata card later. I should be able to find some other PCI Sata card soon, I'll make some tests as well

Hi, there's lot of stuff on Archive.org but IMHO a part of the pleasure is also to search for it. I personally do not recommend to download huge packs. ( + most of the time, modified games to work with DosBBox )

Absolutely. In my case, P10 Version accepts my PIII 850 but not the newers Revisions. Edit : I put it here if someone can upload it to VogonsDrivers : http://213.246.45.138/share/SE440BX-2.zip

I was 14 and switched from a Zenith Data System 386 with 3.1 to a Pentium 75 with Windows 95. After only 2 days I decided to try to install a desktop replacement I used to have for windows3.1 . I believe it was PC Tools. It has completely crashed w95. I had to reinstall it but the Graphic card …

Hi there, I've recently spent some times to download stuff for my Intel SE440BX-2 Mobo. Some of them are really tricky to get ( like Russian websites 😈) I think it would make sense to have this uploaded to VogonsDrivers Bios Revision notes from P1 to P17 CPU Support list ( html capture from Intel's …

That's a very good point. I'm using 256GB SSDs, no issues to report so far, in DOS or Windows. I just use my main computer to format drives in FAT32. I take note of your recommendations. The Promise looks hard to find. I just check ebay, almost only SATA II 150 or SATA300 which don't seems to be …

Unfortunately, the card I have is not recognized by the flashing tool, so I'm stuck with 5.4.03 Raid. Your explanation make sense and validate what I assumed. Some of my tests here : Intel SE440BX-2 / Issues

Hey Doogie, really nice setup ! For the SATA Pci Card I actually can't update the Bios as it's not recognized by the Silicon Image flashing tool. I tested 2 different drivers, same results and always showing the attached drive as MS-DOS Compatibility Mode. Also tested on different PCI port, same …

Yep I'm using an IDE CD Drive, no issue. Just unplugged while testing the SSD. No warnings at all even when the PCI SATA Card is installed

I did all previous test with Voodoo2 removed. The wierd thing concerning the Voodoo2 is that it works for a while, then stop to be recognized. Sometimes if I switch to another PCI Port it works back for few days, sometime not. I'm currently reinstalling Win98 to make some tests with the Sata card so …

Hi there, I have a SIL3114 for my P3 850 and I'm facing some speed issues under windows. It's running Bios 5.4.03 ( I have the screen to setup the raid on boot ) and both DOS and Windows are working fine without using the "Base" Bios. Just the speed that seems to be very low. Do you think that …
