i recently aquired a "Midwest Micro" Elite PC (generic lil 486DX-33 system) including the manuals,it has a "MI3210V" Multi-IO VESA IDE Card that deals w/ Floppy/IDE/Ports, a SoundGalaxy Pro 16 Soundcard, the mainboard is a "UC 4913" (which looking up on google shows this is a VERRY early Elitegroup mainboard) a "SVGA-24"VESA videocard (it come sup as a CirrusLogic "Chettah XL" card and a Mitsumi FX001D DoubleSpeed CD-Rom (which i have Removed to run off the "MultiIO Card" s IDE channel for the Main HDD and a HP CD-Writer Plus drive) and a mysterious Fax Modem which i can only guess is between a 14.4 ~ 28.8k modem)
it orginally had 4MB Ram (this board uses 30Pin SIMMs) and have thus since added an extra 16MB Ram (4x4MB)
the only downside this system had a 206MB IDE HDD which was verry l;imiting w/ the games i was trying to stack ontop of Dos 6.22 (system came w/ 6.2 but i had old floppies w/ .22 onhand) and Windows 3.11 WFW
Shockingly, the controller card (the multi IO card) is able to detect or atleast pass onto various Dos utilities my only spare drive which is a Seagate 40GB salvaged from a iMac G3(Seagate ST340810A) and i'd like to use this Drive
i know i'll need a DDO as ... Well.. 40GB is beyond its Type 47 Specs. (if i let it Auto detect it see sit as a 8GB in the bios.)
i guess EZBios is my first step to try, anyone know where to Download it from that still works?
