Has anyone looked at the IAA-Raid edition?

Apparently, this is what you need for large drive support for the 865 and 875 chipsets (using ICH5/ICH5R).

By the way, the "R" in ICH5R stands for Raid.

Problem is, even the earliest versions of IAA-Raid (March 2003) don't seem to include win-98 support.

The files the oldest version has are these:

iaStor.cat

isStor.inf

iaStor.sys

TXTSETUP.OEM

Is there no way I can morph these into a replacement for ESDI_506.PDR?

BTW, here is also older non-RAID version:
