Hello everybody.
I own a HP Vectra 500 series Model 562 (D3742A) PC till 1995
It has a HP motherboard with Intel Triton 430FX Chipset.
The motherboard is socket 7 and support Pentium I to 200Mhz

It has embedded S3Trio64 video chipset with 1Mo VRAM with optional 2Mb upgrade
some docs : https://www.manualslib.com/manual/274952...tml?page=8
The BIOS limits size of HDD with the embedded intel 82371FB (PIIX) controller.
I want to add a PCI IDE card or a PCI SATA Card.
First, I tried to install the PCI to SATA card (Ali M5283 chip). But I got a ressource conflict in BIOS even with all other PCI Cards (USB, Matrox Graphics) removed and integrated IDE controller disabled.
I
Next, I tried an Abit Hotrod 100, I bought last Friday.
With the Hotrod 100 card, the PC beeps on boot with no message.
BIOS beep codes
I can't see any message from the card's BIOS.
Win98SE detects the card and I've installed the driver. I can use a formatted CF Card on IDE adapter on the IDE port of the Hotrod 100 only with Win98SE.
With DOS, the card is not detected.
I also try to use card with motherboard's IDE controller disabled and the Hotrod does not seems to work.
I think it's BIOS issue but I can't figure what it is. This Phoenix BIOS does not offer a lot of settings to play with.
I suppose the BIOS don't launch Option ROM.
I don't have any setting about option ROM or PCI Optional ROM scan
I don't have a boot menu like this :
I think the Bootable Add-in card in the missing option.
Thanks for your help.
