Check mobo for ATA/66 support

Check mobo for ATA/66 support

[Marco Calistri]

Hello can you explain me how can I check if my mobo supports ATA/66 mode?
Is the BIOS related to this feature?

Program:   Unicore BIOS Wizard Version 1.4                                     
Program:   Unicore Chip Detect v0.72 2000.03.10                                
BIOS Date: 08/13/97                                                            
BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG                                          
BIOS ID:   08/13/97-i430VX-2A59GPN9C-00                                        
BIOS Eval: POWERBOARD P586 VX                                                  
Chipset:   Intel Triton 430VX rev 2                                            
Superio:   SMC 669 rev 2 found at port 3F0h  


Many thanks.

VX chipset, so no.  Doesn't support Ultra/33 either.

But in the interest of being complete, I plugged the BIOS Id into google,
and from there

It's a ProComp B581, www.procomp.com.tw/procomp/usa for their homepage(if
you want English :D)

Unfortunately, they're one of those that remove drivers once they think no
one uses that board anymore.

Hope this helps,

Mike
