    How to make a Compaq' see the ultra100TX2?!

    I have been trying to make a Compaq Presario 5722 behave toghter with a Promise Ultra100Tx2.....

    It wont aknowledge that its there.

    Did you open the TX2's BIOS and configure the array first?

      Sorry for the misunderstanding, but it's not a raid card just the "IDE" card

          Well...............

          I solved it sorta................

          The customer decided that it did not need its old 13 gb drive after alll (sigh)

          And I managed to make the compaq accept 1HDD, 2 Atapi and 1 Zip100mb (he has a usb 250,but thinks it vould be sad to lose a unit )

          Now the fun part is left:

          Installing W98 and find all drivers for all funny things integrated on the compaq mb.......
