testing on my 286 machine now~
it did not detect my hard drives!
my 120 gb deskstar drive and my 80gb western digital drive
did not detecct them >< this is on my xtide rev 2 card on my original XT
good news!
it works just fine on my 286 ^^
do you need any info?
it is a pti-217 card~
and i am using a rom expansion card for the bios~
Sorry for the late reply! I keep missing your posts (they don't show up in the Activity Stream for some reason - probably due to the moderator approval thing). Anyway, I assume the card works normally with the BIOS and it's just the autodetection in XTIDECFG that fails? Is it detected in older versions of XTIDECFG (the beta 3 version)? Is the card jumpered for high speed mode or compatibility mode? Can you tell me what I/O address it's using for the IDE controller?
Can someone else confirm if the autodetection works or not with the XTIDE rev2 card?
OK, that's good news. Did you try the same drives in this computer?
Upgraded my IBM XT 5160 to R567 and "Autodetect" detected my XT-IDE R1 card just fine.
Did you try manually setting the mode to 16-bit adapter in 8-bit slot?
The problem is that the 5150 doesn't support external ROMs, AFAIK. Have a look at http://www.minuszerodegrees.net/bios/bios.htm, please.Has anyone got a 16-bit controller with CF Card / adapter working in a 5150 ?

(can you spot a 74LS245 on the card, for example?).

i will try the auto detection test later! it dose fail! I do not think it works normally with my XT-IDE 2 card
compatibility mode
the default i think 30....
the 286 cannot have 2 drives! but it works with 1 drive only which is strange
I think the xtide bios canot detect 2 hard drives well ...
auto detection works but with oprom.bin version 0.11 only, on my XT that is, which has 2 really large hdds
all i know is that the bios is not autodetecting hard drives like it is supposed to when there is 2 hard drives
I decided to try again with R567 XT-IDE BIOS and it looks like the bios is finding the CF Card or something but displays an @ symbol instead of displaying " CF Card " when it detects one. I get an error when trying to access the card.
Has anyone got a 16-bit controller with CF Card / adapter working in a 5150 ?.
Krille , James any ideas ?
Judging by the lack of responses, you are apparently the only one with a 16-bit IDE controller in a 5150. :stern: I guess there isn't much else to do but wait until someone else tries this. Or, if someone knows the differences in hardware between the 5150 and 5160 that could also potentially be very helpful.
Great news!
Yes it will work with the original; use the 8K binaries.
Aitotat - don't suppose the flash utility supports sst39sf0x0a chips?
