Intel's D810EMO Motherboard FAQ says that IDE devices should support the ATA-4 specification for autodetection by the BIOS during POST. "The 40-pin, 80-conductor cable that is provided with the boxed Intel Desktop Board D810EMO is fully backward compatible with all IDE transfer protocols. It will also support Ultra ATA/66 if used with one or two Ultra ATA/66 drives attached. If a drive using a previous IDE transfer protocol is attached to the provided cable, the maximum transfer protocol available to either drive on the cable will be UDMA33."
I'm going to use a 40 GB drive for Win98, so we'll see . . .
so far, two different 40 GB hard drives:
- Western Digital w/Win98SE
- Maxtor w/Mandrake Linux 9.1
are both operating with no problems on my dot.tiger station with the 003.ABAZ BIOS.
Another wrinkle. Scaner on the AOL forum pointed out that the IDE controller chip might be either an 82801AA or 82801AB, which the Intel datasheet says are pin-compatible. (He has one of each in his machines.) The AA will support Ultra ATA/66, but the AB will only support Ultra ATA/33. Unfortunatly, Manuel has an AB.
