Hi All,
Long time lurker first time poster.
Building a retro box. Going back and forth on storage. I have an old PATA drive and a very modern sort of last of the PATA drives. Both slow compared to solid state. So far using a CF adapter everything is solid and working, but I have a pile is 60ish gig SSDs and a new SIL3114 card.
I reflashed the 3114 into IDE mode, but windows 98 install just sticks at the first screen after reboot when discovering hardware.
The SSD in Win2k was about 3x quicker than the CF card, only using a x366 CF but have ordered a x1066 to see if that is the bottleneck.
What are your thoughts / advice.
