Hello! 😀
I have an old Compaq Presarion 1110, with "ALi" M5229 C4 IDE controller. I purchased an m.2 -to-IDE caddy/adapter (specifically: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Z67GX6W?ref=pp … asin_title&th=1), and also a Transcend m.2 (2280) SATA ssd (specifically https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B076YLXF62?ref=pp … _fed_asin_title)
Stock, the adapter is only seen as UDMA2 compatible, and no matter what I do with
sudo hdparm -X <UDMA_MODE_3/4/5> /dev/hda
, it will not stick (confirmed with
sudo hdparm -t /dev/hda
,
sudo hdparm -I /dev/hda
and
sudo hdparm -i /dev/hda
I ran a VERY fine wire from pin 34 'PDIAG#" to ground, and the BIOS now sees it as "UDMA 5" in the "[Auto]" setting, but tests (and
sudo hdparm -X udma5 /dev/hda
or
sudo hdparm -X udma4 /dev/hda
DO NOT stick. I am new to these IDE/ATA pins and commands, but technically very well experienced, in software and electronics.
I am at a loss, if someone could suggest what to do next?
Many thanks.
