Ok, little update:

the cable was installed correctly but the pin position image on top of the hd was wrong, it was reversed, infact when i placed the jumper on the pins near the ide cable bios recognized it as master.

The irq conflict was caused by VIA irq steering driver: not installing it solved ...

AFAIR removing all Master/Slave jumpers is understood by the drive as Slave setting. So either the jumper you used is damaged or does not work properly or it is incorrectly set.
Master/Single-Master should be the jumper block just next to the IDE connector.
Please make sure all IDE ports in Bios ...

i have found another 80pin old cable and used it for moving dvdram unit on secondary master channel

Now, alone on primary channel, hd is recognized by the bios, the problem is that i can't set it as master, but only as slave.

I have checked configuration and pin position more then 10 times, and ...

those adapters are basically two things: they offer three jumpers (noob feature) for multipliers (BF0-2) for anything that's AMD K6-2 and above and (this is really important!) they bring their own switching voltage regulator for vcore. a 5,25" or 3,5" power connector is used to get some voltage and ...

I have tested a lot the motherboard with both p133 and k6 200 and until now is running fine.

Probably overheating caused partial loss of cmos data, so resetting cmos and changing cpu allowed restoring it's operational state.

Have yet to run cachemem, but i have another question:

if i will find a ...

Damn, yesterday a sad thing happened:

after 2 minutes from powering on, pc freezes.
Suspecting that the problem was inside, i opened the case and discovered that the Fan that i applied up the VRM stopped functioning, overheating or, probably, burning it.

I have adjusted the fan but motherboard no ...

I have used a VX-board with 64 and 128MB myself long ago with Win95. For sure 128MB without L2-Cache are slower than 128MB with L2-Cache although only 64MB are cached.

The best solution to get speed out of it is to reduce CPU multi but raise FSB to 75MHz (if possible and board and PCI cards work ...

I have just tested k6 at 233 too, but after a while it crashed (appeared some blue screens) and the system became instable.

Probably cpu was getting too much hot, im still using for k6 old 133 fan and heatsink

L2 cache is recognized during post as usual: 256k

I will try this second test too

The first one write me a long like of numbers in a window called "debug mode"

Is that line that you want for checking if write activation is on?
