A while ago I got a good deal on one of those "lot" auctions on ebay where some bloke dumps a bunch of computer parts into a bin and sells it for cheap. Long story short the only thing I wanted in this particular auction was a Promice SuperIDE cached controller for ISA. It looks Identical to this one, except I have an Intel processor and what looks to be version 220 bios, not 221.
Now, the card works. So long as I use a hard drive under the 540mb barrier. I originally wanted to use this in my 386/40 and while the motherboard supports up to 8.4gb drives, the controller doesnt seem to care and limits to 540. Some people remember me having the same issue with an adaptec 1542 scsi card. Well, here I am again. YAY!
I google'd this card for a good hour and I cant find squat. I was hoping someone here might know where I can find an updated bios for larger hard drives, or knows that i'm basically S.O.L. For the record, I was trying to use a 2gb SD card.
