Promise Ultra 66 IDE Controller

A few things..... with that generation of computer it was always recommended to use the first PCI slot in the event you encountered problems.  On my XPS T system I have the Promise 66 card install in the second slot and have left the first slot empty for increased air circulation for the graphics card.  With this arrangement my card is using IRQ 3 and only shares that IRQ with PCI Steering which is no problem.  With the XPS T model, the PCI slot a device is installed in will help determine the IRQ received.

Secondly, have you checked the cable from the hard drive to the controller card to insure it isn't faulty or that it is the correct one?  The cable should be a 80 conductor / 40 pin cable in order for the drive to perform at UDMA mode 4 which is ATA 66.  Otherwise if you have accidently used a 40 conductor / 40 pin cable the drive will operate at PIO mode which I believe is the same as DOS compatibility mode.  Also check to see that the cable is installed the right way.  If the ribbon cable is reverse it will only run in PIO mode.

Thirdly, if the only thing on your motherboard controller is the CD drive then move it over to the first IDE port.  There is no reason to have it on the secondary IDE port as the machine will boot from a device attached to the controller card first as long as "add-in" appears before the CD drive in the boot order.

Thanks!  Regarding the connector cables - well I just took the connection at the "Ultra 66 Controller Card End" and after putting in the new Ultra 66 Controller Card, I put the cable back at the same slot in the new card. I never touched the cable end connected to the Hardisk as accessing it is a bit difficult.

Regarding correct type of connector cable - I guess since I never totally took out the cables out of the PC, they are the same as when they came from Dell a few years back and seem to be working.

Regarding moving the Ultar 66 IDE Controller to a different PCI slot - I can try that out. In my system, the first PCI slot is free... then comes the Sound Blaster, then the original slot for the Ultra 66 IDE (now empty), then the Modem and the last slot was free. Currently I have the Ultra 66 in the last slot. I can put it back in the 3rd slot as it was before.... Accessing first PCI slot is again a bit difficult.

Incidentally I called the 1-800 number and my call was attended by a Dell Support rep in India who walked me through installing the Ultra66 IDE driver from my Dell Resource CD. Anyway I followed the steps on phone... but it did not help much. I was told that I would be sent an email on an article on Dell Resource CDs and their Version usage....but have not received it. In the end I was told by the rep. to contact a local support person.!!! So here I am back again. Rgds

 Ok, this time I removed all my other PCI Cards -i.e. Sound Blaster & Modem and all the software connected with it using the Device Manager and Add/Remove Programs. I also removed the Promise Ultra 66 IDE PCI Card with ** BIOS Version 1.10A. ** and associated drivers.

Then checked again all the connections and connector cables. Looked at the PC BIOS and set Plug & PLay to NO.

Then installed the Ultra 66 IDE Card on 2nd PCI slot (1st PCI slot is free for display card cooling) and let Windows 98 detect the new hardware. It did and asked for the driver for Ultar 66. I gave the location of the driver as A: and driver date 5/18/1999..... Drivers are installed....system boots up again and still yellow exclaim icon.

Then uninstalled the original driver...re-booted PC and now tried driver version from Dell Resource CD.. same issue.. driver date 5/18/1999

Repeated the same and now tried downloaded driver from Promise.com and same problem.

So now I thought of flashing the Promise BIOS from 1.10A to...?

The flash program gave an error during the second portion of its instructions (after I had backed the original BIOS... as per the instructions.) Error message was 'File Incorrect or not the correct file.' This was for the ul200....BIN file that does the actual BIOS update.

So here I am with no clue as to what to do next. I read through the web site www.pcguide.com

Also read the Dell Documentation on my PC...

Tried changing the PCI card from 2nd slot to 3rd as it was originally... same problem...

Finally I re-installed the Sound Blaster Card... and its driver.... and then the Modem and its drivers....

Checked the IRQs and now Modem is 9 and Sound Blaster is 5 and Promise Ultra is 10.....

No other conflict shows up in Device Manager. I also disabled the Creative Joystick....to free a IRQ and also disabled the Primary IDE as CD-ROM is connected as before on Secondary Master.... on mother board.

PC thank God works and I am able to connect to Internet.... but the MS-DOS Compatability mode error still exists.

Question:- Is the driver I am installing bad.... or is the Promise Ultra 66 Card bad? Can I get the Ultra 66 drivers and BIOS Update program from some other source/website? Should I return the Card and buy an Ultra100 card instead? I bought this card from EBAY auctions for $12.50 + 7.50 shipping. I found many other buyers buying this same card from the seller these past few days and I am wondering how people are installing the drivers.... HELP

 

Check out my answer over in the Dimension - BIOS forum.

Ok the seller sent another Promise Ultra 66 IDE Card y'day as a replacement and I plugged it into the PCI slot. (BIOS version 1.10A  again! & seems used/cracked on the Primary connector). Then booted the system and BIOS shows correct version and hardiskDMA 4... windows 98 message for 'PCI RAID controller' looking for drivers comes. I gave it the location of the drivers at my A: floppy drive. Driver file 5/18/1999. Loaded the driver and rebooted the machine. Same Yellow exclaim icon! So went to device manager and updated the driver with driver dated 8/17/1999. Same cycle... yellow icon remains.

I do not want to try flashing the BIOS version 1.10A..... IRQ is 5 for Promise Ultra 66 this time.... 3 is free.

Turned on Plug & Play on PC BIOS. No effect. Where can I get a proper driver for the Promise Ultra 66 with BIOS 1.10A? I have exported the System Information into Text format. I will upload the IRQs and I/Os memory lines.... Thanks.
