I have bought a quantum fireball lct 20 20 hard disk in argentine. (of course, where else, I'm not here as a tourist :-). It doesn't came with manual or driver of any kind. In the maxtor's site there is 3 files that are not very useful. I want to know how do I activate the bus master feature on the mainboard. I understand that the chipset or the bios must support it. Am I right?
The IRQ for the ide driver assigned by windows is 14. Is that ok? Could I improve perfomance lowering it?
My motherboard is a Pc-chips "elpina" M558 model. This board seem not have socket for caché upgrade. Also, the sandra 2000 test hardware program shows that the lack of caché reduces perfomance . . . and indicates that the board just has 32 K of this kind of memory.
My bios Id string is 51-0830-01437-00111111-071595-ut801x.
Please answer to me. Don't leave me with this . . . Pode1.
