So the latest version behaves "better" with full mode enabled vs. minimum mode? I would think on a system as "simple" as a Morrow Pivot-vintage box minimum mode would be more appropriate, but perhaps it stomps on some BIOS data era that full mode doesn't?
The docs also mention a "late initialization" option:
I wonder if it might be worth trying that, if you haven't? The bit about "requiring some main bios functions for drive detection" might be relevant?
The docs also mention a "late initialization" option:
Normally expansion card BIOSes are initialized before POST completes. Some (older) systems initialize expansion card BIOSes before they have initialized themselves. This might cause problems since XTIDE Universal BIOS requires some main BIOS functions for drive detection. This problem can be fixed by using late initialization to detect drives on boot loader. Late initialization requires that XTIDE Universal BIOS is the last BIOS that installs INT 19h handler. Make sure that XTIDE ROM is configured to highest address if you have other storage device controllers present.
