Micronics Lightning (Light2-pp200-T) Motherboard inquiry
Hello,
I'm down to the last resort - this great list.
I have this dual PentiumPro system that I'm trying to get a new HDD on
as the old SCSI one died after 4 years of service. If anyone encountered
this particular motherboard please be kind to write me if:
BIOS is PnP
Motherboard is PCI 2.1 compliant and supports bus mastering
The reason I need this info is that they are listed in the requirements to
Promise Ultra 100 ATA-100 TX2 controller. I tried an 8.4 Gb IDE HDD in
it. BIOS recognizes it, but it wouldn't boot from it. So I think Promise
controller is my only choice unless I want to find a 3Gb drive or so.
Thanks,
Alex.
P.S. This is on a system at work, so I can't make a mistake ;-) by
ordering the controller and finding out it wouldn't work. And yes, I
tried Google to no avail. Micron tech support never answered my email.
Our local admin says he wouldn't touch this "5 year old system" with a
stick.
