Um..yup, I believe that cache card might be necessary. :-)
On-board IDE controller? If so, try disabling the primary IDE in the BIOS
(if possible--some BIOSes don'r allow this) and connect the (a) hard drive &
the CD-ROM to the secondary IDE controller.
This very thing actually happened to my home firewall PC--the IDE controller
took ill, and I wound up changing the motherboard.
If you've got a pile of old, spare parts, they might be spare for a reason.
How did you come by these?
