Hi fellow enthousiasts,
I could use some help with my Ryzen V5 5500 build.
With this project I have a Ryzen 1200 powered MSI B350 PC-MATE motherboard running, dual booting to either Win98SE or Win10.
This board comes with two PCI slots and one holds my V5 5500PCI. The other slot will soon hold some good sound card (thinking of my Vortex SQ2500 card, or a Live!).
The thing I need help with is CD/DVD drive functionality under Win98SE. I really would hate to keep booting to Win10, copy cd contents to a folder, then to reboot to Win98 and install. Moreover, a lot of games won't work I assume as they will try to search for a physical disc. Not to mention the lack of CD music capability 😐
I bought this cheap JMB363 add-on card, which has drivers, but it still doesn't work. 98 Is not picking up any disc drive. Both Sata connected nor IDE connected:

So I'm now going to try to flash it as the author describes, to force legacy IDE mode to it. Would that work ?
Or is there any other solution available to get a drive to work under Win98, on a modern board that has no "free" legacy PCI slots for a controller card ?
