I found the following comment on a vintage computing forum website (I searched for "Promise Drivemax", and this was one of the items that came up.
"Not too long ago Promise used to sell an IDE BIOS that did exactly that - it was a small card with a ROM on it that used the existing controller elsewhere in the machine. One would 'disable' the existing controller by setting the drive type to zero in the BIOS, which would still allow the hardware to respond if it was accessed. The Promise ROM would then do the rest." Since this was evidently how the Promise Drivemax was supposed to work, it makes sense to me that the Promise EIDEMAX would work the same way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Computer Tech Support" group.
