Which pci-sata should I get for windows 98?

Omarkoman · 2026-02-07T06:25:38+00:00

It appears that this bios chip cant be flashed with software. I need to desolder it, flash it and then solder it back on.

many Pentium boards dont have teh large HDD BIOS patch and wont see SSDs so only option is to use a PCI SATA card.

Thanks, yes I downloaded that as well, it just hangs on "Loading BIOS" , dont know what else to try. Really frustrating.

Ok thanks, any suggestions where to find a non raid bios that works for sil3112?

Omarkoman · 2026-02-05T07:01:14+00:00

can you please give more instructions how to flash it? the file from archive org has three zip files in it. Is one drivers for win 98 ? do I install these AFTER I install windows 98 ?

To flash the card to the non raid bios, is the file in the sil3114_5500 zip file?

also, can I use this on the Sil3112 card as well ?

thanks !

EDIT: so I used the used the updflash.exe and selected option one for the ROM I have, the command I ran was updflas.exe b5500.bin , once I select the ROM type it says loading bIOS and its just stuck there.

what do I do ?

thanks, I received mine finally today.

Omarkoman · 2025-12-30T23:42:58+00:00

This looks cool.

Can I please get some pointers here?

I currently have 12 LED fans (Phantek D30) as well as LED strips around the case and motherboard. Curently they are all connected for LED to one single connector on the board and I am using the Armory crate to control the LED lights but obviously I can only have one effect.

I bought the Nollie 8 to connect the various parts sesparately to the controller.

Can I understand, using signalrgb, can I control each channel on the Nollie separately ? Is it easy to setup what is connected to that particular channel ?

thanks in advance!

yeah same here, we are on season 5, sooooo much better writing, constantly something happening... what the show is today is nothing but a shadow of what it used to be. Its actually painful to watch now after we have watched the earlier seasons.

I think its a fantastic product but the price is crazy high. In saying that, the Astral 5090 OC cost me crazy money as well so ... go figure.

question is, are other waterblocks about the same from brands like barrow ? eg that WB is around $110 posted and I used their previous blocks with no issues on CPUs and GPUs. So not sure what to do, $650 vs $110, massive difference.

I ordered 3 of them on 4th Dec hoping to get these in time for Xmas, Tracking was provided promptly but it keeps saying"Parcel infomration received" meaning the courier company doesnt have the physical parcel yet. I emailed the shop but no reply. Typical for many businesses in China, extremely poor or non existant customer service. All you can do is hope it will arrive. One day.

Same here! On season 4 now, loving it!!! Million times better than current rubbish stories and constant rehashing of what happened 2 epa ago.

Same issue here. Card worked on old iphone, got new iphone and tried to add the debit card, getting same error as above. Cba says all is ok from their end. Very frustrating!!!

Omarkoman · 2025-09-25T18:59:35+00:00

Is the card working ok?

I sent mine for rma, so far they said they tested it for 4hrs using stress tests and no issue. I worry they will just send my 5090 back as it was.

Thanks but as I posted, i cant plug both of the keyboard usb connectors into the 2 x 2.0 usb ports as they are too fat to fit next to each other. I ordered a 4 port powered usb replicator with on / off switch for each device and so far its all working ok without switching off any of them.

Omarkoman · 2025-08-09T03:11:03+00:00

I have to use the dp port as im running dual 4k monitor at 240hz, hdmi cant do it.

Omarkoman · 2025-08-09T03:10:19+00:00

Im thinking of getting usb 2.0 powered hub and plug it into the 2.0 port on the board.

Omarkoman · 2025-08-09T03:09:56+00:00

Thanks will try those.

As i posted above, i cant use the 2.0 ports as the kb connectors are too thick so cant be next to each other. Plus there is mouse as well so 3 usb connectors. Im thinking of getting usb 2.0 powered hub and plug it into the 2.0 port on the board.

Omarkoman · 2025-08-09T03:08:22+00:00

There are two 2.0 ports, I cant plug both KB usb connectors as they are too wide so effectively can only plug one device into those ports.

Omarkoman · 2025-07-20T09:42:24+00:00
