How many of you guys own an IBM 5162 and / or IBM 5170 with the Original IBM Bios fitted and are using the XTIDE Universal Bios with non IBM IDE Floppy / Hard drive / Combo controller with no problems ??.
I own both the 5162 and 5170 but my 5170 is out of commission at the mo with a dead PSU, Some time ago i replaced the Original IBM Bios ROMS in my 5162 and 5170 with AMI bios ROMS because the original MFM drives were dead and i needed to use IDE or CF with a none IBM IDE / Floppy controller, The issues i had using the original IBM bios with the XUB were the known 161 error because i changed the controller and corruption with IDE drives or CF, Using the AMI Bios with the XUB i had zero problems.
Rolling the clock forward I have been playing with my 5162 testing a few SIMM's (another thread), I have the Original IBM Bios ROM's fitted, Some old generic IDE / Floppy Combo controller, CF and the XUB r602 in a lo-tech ROM board, I have had thus far no problems, No 161 or Corruption with an IDE drive or CF, The only difference i can think of is the XUB revision since i tested some time ago but i can't remember what revision it was at the time i tested, Basically i'm trying to figure out whats changed since then and now, I think i will start by going back some revisions of the XUB to start with, It's strange i'm not getting the 161 error now though.
