I'm using a Promise EIDEPro card in a 386-40. It's a 16 bit ISA card, and it should work fine. There seems to be some weirdness though:
The 'game' adapter doesn't show up. I've run several programs to try to detect it, but it's just not there. I've checked the jump settings multiple times. I don't even have a joystick, but I wonder why it's not showing up. (I've also removed everything from the machine except the video card, so I know it's not a port conflict.)
The parallel port isn't being detected as EPP or ECP by a parallel-to-SCSI adapter that I'm using. It works, but nowhere near as fast as should be.
The IDE piece (which is what I really need it for) is working fine. The com ports are showing up, but who knows if they're working ... (I haven't tested them yet.)
Does anybody else have experience with this card in an older machine? Is there more than one flavor of game adapter for the older machines? (I thought there was just one, but I've never had a joystick on a PC before so how would I know? Jr's have them built in ...)
