I've been using my RC-212 with my old operating system experiments for a couple of years now. I haven't had any of those issues so far. The tricky part is getting the OS to recognize the card and load the drivers. This is the only native SATA card I've heard of that will work with NT 3.51, but I …

The thing is though; I'm not sure they add any benefit. The system works just fine with the controller still as "unknown mass storage device" in device manager. so to clarify with the drivers you linked above windows 98 will show the correct hardware under device manager? but it also works fine …

I'm having trouble finding a datasheet for the clockgen though and I haven't found any software that can interface with it Can't help with finding software to control the clock generator, but I linked you the datasheet for it in your other thread.

hey what's up I'm looking for a pci (non express) sata 300 card. Raid would be nice but not critical, bootable is critical. but it has to be able to work with windows 98. I'm aware that some of you guys can't help yourselves but to point out that pci is 133 and sata 300 is 300. Not what I asked …

Perhaps you would prefer this ? Overclocks to 600mhz all day long James oo nice find! I already ordered a 550 k63+ and k62 570+ though :) I'll probably never make it past 500 on this board though Iwill motherboard is the lost cause. Using an NVME drive via adapters sounds like a waste of money to …

AFAIK, the only way to get higher than 83 MHz FSB on a TX board is to replace the clock crystal. If anyone has actually done that, someone on this forum will likely know about it. With the PCI bus at 41.5 MHz at 83 MHz FSB, you're already right on the edge. Edited above post. Which crystal could I …

So why not SSD, in fact why not M.2 NVME on a pci to pci express on a pci express to m.2 adapter? muahaha!! And that’s just the tip of the madness. ready? Let’s …

Hi there, I'm totally confused about the PCI to PCIe adapter card, what is this intended use on this TX chipset motherboard? Does that works?

I've a TXP4 with a K6-3+ 450 @ 500, and 256 megs of RAM running Win 98 on a Promise ATA 100 card with a Teamgroup SATA SSD. The RAM limitation is built into the chipset, so there is no overcoming it. It is possible that you can have an issue with certain hardware when using the 83 MHz FSB since the …
