Hi guys, I have a 386 40MHZ Soyo 019R1 board. Upgraded the ram from 4 to 8mb, has a Trident 512kb graphics card. It runs DOS and Win 3.1
Last 2-3 days I am trying to add a CD rom. My oldest one is a 16x Mitsumi from 1997. IDE is on IO card, no ports on the board. I am struggling to get it working, system dont recognise it. I dont know the jumper setting of the IO card, found PT 606E and PT 606G manual, I have a PT 606V... Tried the jumper setting of PT 606E which looks exactly like my card. Also tried to disable IDE master and connected the HDD with an old type of cable which has only 2 ends no connector in the middle and DOS just starts up normally, so I think manual is not good for my card or I am just too dumb to figure it out how to get the CD rom recognized by system... Tried master, slave cable select. Tried both ends of cable. Tried to find it in bios... Waiting for some advices or tips 😊
