A7V V.1.02 BIOS 1011,
TBird 1Ghz (7.5 x 133Mhz),
256MB 133Mhz, CAS timing set at SPD defaults,
CMOS system speed attempted at both Normal and Optimal.
We're not yet using the ATA-100 connections.
We've attached, to the Primary IDE connection, six or seven good HDD's,
using a few cables (both 40 conductor and 80 conductor).
We can get to a DOS prompt from a floppy disk or from the HDD boot
sector. Then we can view the root directory of the different HDDs. But
we cannot see the subdirectories, nor the contents of files.
Naturally, we cannot start Windows, so the drivers and VIA packs are
not yet relevant to this situation.
My guess is that there is some disk-to-bus timing issue (not memory
timing).
Solution(s)? Advice? Wild speculations? Expressions of sympathy?
