Wondering if anyone has experienced this:
I have a Socket 7 Baby AT motherboard - I believe it's PC Chips. Best I can tell it's this one, this looks exactly like it:
I can't get it to detect a hard drive - I've tried multiple IDE hard drives that are tested working, multiple IDE cables that are tested working, but whenever it boots, it says:
Auto-Detecting Pri Master..Press <ESC> to abort_
Once it says this, the machine appears to be frozen.
Before it attempts to detect the IDE, I can hit DEL to get into the BIOS.
Under Standard Setup, Pri/Sec Master & Slave are all 4 set to "Auto"
There are additional parameters I can specify if I set it to "User" instead of "Auto", those parameters are:
Cyln Head WPcom Sec LBA Mode Blk Mode PIO Mode 32Bit Mode
Not sure what they would be, or if I would even want to set them. If I hit "Enter to Autodetect" - the same happens - it attempts to autodetect the drive and freezes.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
