i have :

40gb hdd - set to primary master on board
52X cd-rom - set to secondary master on board
cdrw - set to set to secondary slave on board
dvd - set to primary master to the controller card

do i need to set slave for the dvd jumper??
 
Looks like it's working fine... picking up what you have attached to it. Does windows see it ok?
 
windows seem ok . i can use my dvd to play movie and its working just fine. so anybody can solve this problem?
 
This is from the Promise web site

Question: What does it mean when I boot the system and the Ultra100 says, ´´BIOS Not Installed´´?
Answer: Cause: No Hard Drives attached to Ultra100.


Solution: The Ultra100 is fully PnP. This means all the resources that it uses are GIVEN to it by the PnP BIOS on the motherboard. The Ultra100 does support IRQ sharing, but this will not work unless ALL the concerned devices support IRQ sharing. If your motherboard allows you to control the assignment of these resources, you may be able to remedy the problem by ´´playing around´´ with them. You can also try resetting the configuration data in the CMOS. This is usually an option in the PnP section of the CMOS. The only available settings for this option will be ´´Enabled´´ and ´´Disabled´´. Set it to ´´Enabled´´, save and exit, and reboot. Otherwise, the only way you might be able to affect these assignments is to switch the PCI slot that the card is in.

Although it refers to the utra 100 card it also applies to the ultra 133 as well cos it's basicly the same card
 
from the info you post . this mean i need to change my controller
to different pci slot only . and by the way is my controller card is working fine. no need to return to the store and get new one ???
 
no there is no need to return it, if you don't understand the Q&A I got from their web site I would suggest that you send Promise tech support an e-mail. I am not an expert and would not like to give you bad advice, but the board sounds fine

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
