Hello,
I just repaired my SS7 motherboard with SIS chipsets & AMD K6-2 500 MHz Processor.
Replaced the BIOS IC (read-write error) and Clock IC (rusted pins)
This is the motherboard -

I am using a CF-IDE Adapter (single type) with a 2 GB CF-Card.
I kept everything auto in the BIOS.
Windows 98SE installation went smooth (tested multiple times).
When I try to install latest SIS IDE driver, it asks for which mode? PIO or DMA?
If I choose DMA, system hangs on reboot.
Only way to recover is enter in Safe Mode and reinstall the same driver setup with PIO mode.
Is there any way to overcome this issue?
I want to restore my late father's 1st ever computer IBM ET&T PC-XT that he gifted me.
Hope you will be kind enough to guide and support me to restore his loving memory.
