Tommy Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 The only chipset drivers I used were LoneCrusader's.
dencorso Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 @Nomen: yes, but he's using both RLoew's RAM Limitation Patch and SATA Patch, which is against your principles, IIRR.
Tommy Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) The SATA patch is a must for full, proper functionality. Even with an IDE connector and set to IDE mode, it's still treated like SATA for some odd reason. So I needed that for sure. The RAM patch is only optional but since I want to use more than 1GB of RAM, I'm using it as well. What's strange is because I'm almost sure I tested Windows 98 on Revision 1.0 and it worked just fine without the SATA patch, so what they did to change the board between Revision 1.0 and 2.0, I really don't know. But I think some major improvements were made to this board, especially because there are different types of capacitors on this one as opposed to the last one. Maybe it was right on the line of the improved ones. I know of course that has nothing to do with SATA/IDE operation, but I do think there might've been some major changes that weren't really cosmetic, but deep within the board itself since except for the few new caps and located in different spots, the boards are visually identical.
