Brian,
Yes, I do realize that what you say is quite true.
Let's just say I am still playing with old dinosaurs! I have
retired/killed two. This PC has some sentimental links. I'd like to keep
it burning trons. OK?
The m/b is an ancient Micron "Lightning II" type that came to me w/Adaptec
2940UW in place.
I have tried to tickle the EIDE/PATA logic, but it seems that Micron
'focused' its' bios to the Adaptec
scsi I/O. I am still studying this old PC (from time to time). No. I do
not know what I eventually wish to do with it yet. As long as I can keep
it working, happy, and sort of current, it stays in the inventory (until
formal retirement due to RTF).
I get it! Really, I do! All my other Clients are now combinations of
Pata/Sata on XP SP3.
All are running strong!
Thank you,
Duncan
